During which of the following phases in systems development
would user acceptance test plans normally be prepared?
A. Feasibility study
B. Requirements definition
C. Implementation planning
D. Post-implementation review
Answer / guest
Answer: B
During requirements definition, the project team will be
working with the users to define their precise objectives
and functional needs. At this time, the users should be
working with the team to consider and document how the
system functionality can be tested to ensure it meets their
stated needs. The feasibility study is too early for such
detailed user involvement and the implementation planning
and post-implementation review phases are too late. The IS
auditor should know at what point user testing should be
planned in order to ensure it is most effective and efficient.
