# Completing Acceptance Testing Milestone

## Agile Lifecycle

Before you proceed with this page, learn about the project components, include the agile lifecycle:

[Agile Project Lifecycle](/project-portal/project-success-handbook/project-components/agile-project-lifecycle.md)
{% endcontent-ref %}

## Learn More About Acceptance Testing

Acceptance testing, simply put, is testing that teams perform to "accept" the resulting solutions. This happens in a lot of ways. Check out the page on Acceptance Testing below:

## Performing Evaluative Research

Remember "[Continuous Discovery](/project-portal/project-success-handbook/project-components/project-milestones/continuous-discovery-milestone.md)"? It happens at this stage too! Evaluating the decisions that go into products and services requires discovery and UX research. Teams should work to evaluate their decisions not just in this milestone but **at every step of the way.** Performing UX research methods like usability testing, concept testing, surveys, and interviews help teams vet their decisions and collect feedback for future work. After all, the work never stops, [it's a lifecycle of continuous improvement!](/project-portal/project-success-handbook/project-components/agile-project-lifecycle.md)

## Quality Assurance Work

Quality Assurance is a cross-functional activity that involves testing scenarios that meet user and client needs. During this work, teams will work together across UX, development, and product functions to align on the priorities of scenarios to test. They use things called "use cases" to track and guide their collective QA work. [This is all based on the Requirements and Acceptance Criteria that have been put together so far. ](/project-portal/project-success-handbook/project-components/project-milestones/requirements-milestone.md)
