The technical platform for the South African Risk and Vulnerability Atlas (SARVA) is currently being developed by the South African Environmental Observation Network (SAEON) on behalf of the Atlas' stakeholders, and it is important to understand the process of acceptance testing that will be followed in pursuit of a quality engineered product.

This article serves as background to an acceptance test process, and provides background information for prospective beta-testers.

SAEON follows a systems engineering approach to systems development, and in this process, test-based development plays an important part. The process that is followed is briefly discussed in the article.
