The UAT or the user acceptance testing is an effective way of reducing if not totally eliminating change requests, and significantly reducing project costs. If your business does not practice user acceptance testing or does not apply a mature process of UAT, it is never too late to re-consider.

Your organization may have a very competent business analyst with a background in requirements training, but without the proper implementation of the UAT in the software development life cycle, your organization could be missing a critical opportunity to improve project success and exceeding meeting the requirements set by the stakeholders. User acceptance testing can help your organization accomplish a variety of things but the most important is that it enables you to measure the quality of the application being developed. Aside from that, there are other benefits that make user acceptance testing a high priority in any effort in software development. UAT can help reduce the cost of the application development. You may enjoy minimal savings by delaying testing efforts in the early stages of the application development, but the development costs are almost certainly bound to increase when defects are discovered later and you have to perform major changes in the application.

Once you ensured through UAT that the application being developed behaves and functions exactly as expected, your organization can eventually develop client loyalty and a word-of-mouth market share. Finding success with programs that have the kind of quality only comprehensive testing can provide is a lot easier than trying to build a client base with a defective program.
