Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

An acceptance test is performed by end-users and verifies that the new system works with actual data. It is intended to demonstrate the system's ability to meet the requirements and to gain customer acceptance. Therefore, option D is the best choice. Option A is incorrect as it verifies each individual program, whereas acceptance testing verifies the system as a whole. Option B is incorrect as it does not involve other applications but only the programs in the application being tested. Option C is also incorrect as it is broader than acceptance testing and involves testing the integration of different applications.
