User acceptance testing serves as the final validation phase before the app launch, where real users verify that the application meets their needs and expectations. This critical stage ensures the app delivers value to its intended audience in real-world conditions.

The process involves:

• Success criteria: Define clear objectives and acceptance requirements based on user stories and business goals to guide testing efforts.
• Test planning: Create specific test scenarios that reflect real user behaviors and common use cases the application must support.
• Execution and feedback: Conduct testing sessions with target users, documenting their experiences, challenges, and suggestions for improvement.
• Results validation: Review test outcomes against defined criteria to ensure the application meets user needs and business requirements.
• Implementation decisions: Determine which feedback to incorporate based on user impact and technical feasibility before final release.^[1]
