An acceptance checklist.
A sample of the conditions, expected behavior and evidence that make a financial-system handover reviewable.
Agree the evidence before building
The acceptance specification connects each test to a business or control requirement. It identifies the source files, environments, access roles, expected results and the person authorized to accept the work. The rows below are example test definitions, rather than results from a completed deployment.
| Test ID | Condition | Expected response | Evidence to retain | Acceptance owner |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| UAT-01 | Valid authorized sample | Fields and totals map to the agreed source | Input file, output and field-map version | Operations |
| UAT-02 | Duplicate execution reference | Duplicate is flagged without double counting | Duplicate report and position total | Operations |
| UAT-03 | Missing price or instrument identifier | Affected record is identified and withheld from an unsupported calculation | Exception record and reason | Research / data owner |
| UAT-04 | User without required permission | Request is denied and an access event is recorded | Role matrix and access-test result | Security owner |
| UAT-05 | Interrupted source connection | Retry and escalation follow the agreed recovery procedure | Recovery log and reconciled restart position | Technical owner |
| UAT-06 | Changed field or interface version | Change is reviewed against the signed specification | Change request and regression evidence | Project sponsor |
Close with an operating handover
The handover contains the approved specification, field-map and configuration versions, test results, known issues, access responsibilities and a recovery runbook. Any unaccepted item remains visible with an owner and the agreed action.
The signed scope sets the test population, tolerance, environments, dependency readiness and support arrangement. This gives procurement, operations and technical teams a common record for judging completion.
