Operational Acceptance Testing services from 2i

Operational Acceptance Testing (OAT) is carried out just after the execution of User Acceptance Testing and before the final product is rolled out. It’s key for the success of your application or software as it allows users to interact with your product one last time before final deployment.

It therefore provides the opportunity to iron out any issues in a production-like environment without the pressure and high stakes of an actual release.

An OAT Test essentially provides a penultimate hurdle to hop when it comes to the lifecycle of software testing, where changes are finalised, and everything is primed and ready to go.

What are the benefits of Operational Acceptance Testing?

One last quality check

An OAT Test ensures compatibility and overall quality of the end-product, eradicating issues before full deployment.

Proof of concept

Validate all aspects of your system to ensure optimum user experience. Well-executed Operational Acceptance Testing makes sure any loose ends are tied up before release which saves you time, money, and reduces risk.

Security

Overall security is increased because of the chance to check software vulnerabilities and other security measures before real-world deployment.

Backup and recovery

This stage allows you to make sure that backup, recovery, and restore facilities are primed and that Non-Functional Testing aspects like disaster recovery and resilience are at expected levels.

Support and maintenance

With the option of operational support in a production-like environment before actual release, identifying maintenance tasks that need to be carried out can take place with Operational Acceptance Testing.

Real-world trial

Tackle issues that haven’t yet been considered, but may impact system behaviour when brought together into a production style environment.

Save a headache and deliver the goods with well-executed Operational Acceptance Testing

OAT Testing plays a necessary role when it comes to testing your software and preparing for final production. It validates the components within your system in a production-like environment and ensures everything behaves as it should when brought together.

This means no surprises in the actual target operating environment and the host network where your system will be deployed. It also means that you have the opportunity to make sure your system adheres to acceptable standards across the board.

Operational Acceptance Testing comes in many forms, and can include:

Load Testing
Performance Testing
Installation testing
Backup and restore testing
Security testing
Recovery testing
