UAT Test Plan Template
Successful User Acceptance Testing (UAT) requires setting a testing strategy and writing a plan. However for many projects this means starting with a blank sheet of paper which makes the process take longer as you try to think of all the issues. The UAT Plan template provides a solid structure based on the IEEE829 test plan structure with explanations of each heading and subheading, and links back to the relevant articles on the website.
p>The UAT Plan Template enables you to:- Write a UAT Plan Rapidly
- Focus On Your Project Issues
- Manage Your Stakeholders’ Expectations
- Schedule UAT Effectively
- Know When to Start UAT

The UAT Plan template has the full structure of a UAT test plan and allows you to get started straight away in planning the Scope of your UAT. No registration required. Just click to download the template, then edit it. Advice on the various section is at the Test Plans Index.
Write a UAT Plan Rapidly
The User Acceptance Testing Plan Template is based on the international IEEE829 standard for test documentation which is specified as part of the ISTQB testing qualifications. The standard covers requirements for creating a test plan in sixteen sections. The templates:
- Map the requirements for a test plan to the specific needs of UAT.
- Map the sixteen sections to the five key plan principles.
- Suggest good practice in each of the sixteen sections.
- Provide example text that can be used or tailored to your project (UAT Plan Plus).
Rather than staring at a blank page you have a document to start editing immediately.
Focus On Your Project Issues
The UAT Plan Templates deal not only with the common issues to do with testing but provides information on how to deal with the unique ones to do with your project. In particular it outlines a six stage process for running UAT.
It gives you a framework which allows you to concentrate on the specific issues to do with your project.
Manage Your Stakeholders’ Expectations
The template helps you to manage the expectations of the four main stakeholder groups./p>
It provides you with a firm basis for discussion with stakeholders and obtaining agreement from them in advance, rather than in a rush once UAT has started and issues come up.
Schedule UAT Effectively
You are given guidance in managing the schedule of events and activities of UAT.
Know When to Start UAT
A key issue is when to start running the UAT tests. Starting all of the UAT activities when the system has been delivered into UAT will not work as a number of decisions must be made before then.
Make Informed Decisions about Accepting a System
A number of issues relate evaluating the results from UAT. The template assists these processes by outlining the process.
Manage Unexpected Events
A number of events can affect The UAT process. As an example, the Go Live date is usually inflexible while the date the system is delivered into UAT seems always to be late. This common situation is a risk that can be anticipated.
Knowing when and how to deal with project risks gives you an edge in achieving successful User Acceptance Testing of a system.
Estimate Required Resource
The resources needed for UAT need to be decided in advance of the system being delivered for testing.
