Acceptance Test of IT Projects

Acceptance tests of an IT project represent a special challenge for both the customer and his representatives. Often, with little time and with insufficient information the customer has to decide if the system works properly and fulfills all the defined needs. For the acceptance testing the customer is more and more at the mercy of the contractor, because of the complex technical background of the IT solution.

This training helps you to test the requirements on the developed IT system and to define and secure claims against the contractor.

Check lists, planning instruments and best practices worked out in the training will be an important support for you in future projects.
