According to the PMI Guide to Business Analysis, user acceptance testing is a technique that involves
verifying and validating that the solution meets the business requirements and satisfies the
stakeholder needs and expectations. User acceptance testing is usually performed by the end users
or their representatives, who evaluate the solution against predefined acceptance criteria and
provide feedback on its functionality, usability, performance, quality, etc. User acceptance testing can
help to determine whether a solution satisfies business requirements, as it can demonstrate that the
solution delivers the intended business value and benefits, and that it meets or exceeds the
stakeholder satisfaction. By reviewing the results of user acceptance testing, a business analyst can
assess how well the solution meets business requirements, and identify any gaps or issues that need
to be addressed or resolved. Evaluating the solution against the project charter, conducting a
brainstorming session with end users, or reviewing the traceability matrix are other ways to analyze
and validate requirements, but they do not necessarily determine whether a solution satisfies
business requirements, as they do not involve testing or evaluating the solution in real or simulated
conditions. Reference: PMI Guide to Business Analysis, page 317-318.
