CompTIA Data+ DA0-002 (V2) Practice Question

The correct answer is User acceptance test (UAT). This scenario describes the final phase of testing where the primary stakeholders or end-users (the sales managers) validate that a new system (the sales dashboard) meets their business needs and is fit for purpose in a real-world setting before it is deployed.

• A unit test is incorrect because it involves developers testing individual, isolated components of the code, not the entire system being tested by end-users.
• A stress test is incorrect as it is designed to evaluate a system's stability and performance under extreme conditions, such as high user loads or large data volumes, rather than verifying its business functionality under normal use.
• Requirement testing is a broad term, and while UAT does test against requirements, UAT is the specific practice where end-users perform the validation to provide final acceptance. The scenario, involving end-users validating the system for business purposes, is most accurately defined as UAT.
