What must be completed before requesting sign-off for UAT?

Before requesting sign-off for User Acceptance Testing (UAT), it is essential that Quality Assurance (QA) has thoroughly reviewed and approved each test scenario. This step is crucial because QA ensures that all the functionalities and specifications outlined in the project requirements are adequately tested and validated. Their approval signifies that the application meets the necessary standards and is functioning as intended before it is presented to end-users for acceptance.

If QA has not completed their review, there may be unresolved issues or defects in the software that could lead to negative user experiences or failures in meeting the project objectives. By ensuring that QA validates the test scenarios beforehand, the project team can confidently move forward, knowing that the product is ready for the end-users to test and provide their feedback during UAT. This leads to a smoother acceptance process and helps align the final product with user expectations.
