UAT: Key Differences and Best Practices between Agile and Waterfall


User Acceptance Testing (UAT) is crucial for successful Dynamics 365 projects. The approach to UAT can vary between Agile and Waterfall methodologies. In Agile, UAT is a continuous process that occurs throughout the project, with users testing new features and providing feedback after each release. Waterfall, on the other hand, uses a sequential approach and UAT typically takes place at the end of the development lifecycle. The nature of the project also affects the UAT strategy, with enhancement projects requiring testing of new functionality and net new projects requiring a more thorough UAT process. Preliminary testing phases, such as unit testing, are important in both methodologies to identify and resolve issues early. Understanding the approach and project requirements is key to planning and executing effective UAT sessions.
