3. Acceptance Tests
   …formal testing with respect to user needs,
   requirements, and business processes conducted to
   determine whether a system satisfies the acceptance
   criteria and to enable the user, customers or other
   authorized entity to determine whether or not to accept
   the system. Acceptance testing is also known as user
   acceptance testing (UAT), end-user testing, operational
   acceptance testing (OAT) or field (acceptance) testing.
