If you’re about to release a web application or a software update, chances are you’ve gone through User Acceptance Testing (UAT), or User Acceptance Tests (UATs). UAT, a.k.a. end-user testing, is one of the most crucial aspects of development. This test is carried out by your clients to ensure that your app’s new release meets their needs. Skipping this test could lead to operational and financial losses, making this part of the process integral. With this template, you can organize your organization’s UATs using five simple database tables that are easy to navigate and use. Each table has several useful views that display the table’s data in your desired manner. It also lets you see the big picture and keep track of all tests across projects for one or more clients.

Allowing your clients to test your web application prior to release is a good practice in the web application development industry. It is critical to get their approval for the most recent version or branch of your project. This saves you time and resources because it keeps you from having to deal with critical functional problems in production. This template is especially useful for quality assurance managers, project managers, and testers who are looking into organizing their company’s web application UATs. Have all your UAT test cases in one location and link them to related data that can be found in the other tables in this template. Keep track and get an overview of all the UATs in the Tests table. But before you can do that, you first need to put some brief information about each of your clients in the Clients table. Then, followed by the Users table, which listed testers from both your organization and the client’s. Then, the Projects table should have all of your organization’s web app projects. After that, you can now begin to use the Tests table. Lastly, put all test steps or test scripts in the Scripts table. You can group test scripts for different test cases by creating views for every test case. Browse through the sample data found in the following tables to better understand how this template works:

Tests

Find all of your test cases in this table, and use the different table views to understand them better. When the left border of a row is green, it means that all of the related test steps in the Scripts table for the test case have passed testing. A yellow left bar means that at least 70% of the related test steps in the Scripts table passed. A red left bar means that less than 70% passed testing. Also, if the tester assigned is a client from a different project, the background color of the whole row turns red.
