What is the BA's role during user acceptance testing (UAT)?
Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: Facilitating UAT by helping users understand what to test, documenting results, and ensuring issues are addressed before sign-off

Explanation

BAs facilitate UAT by preparing test scenarios based on acceptance criteria, helping users execute tests effectively, capturing and prioritizing defects, and confirming that resolved issues meet requirements before business sign-off.

**Why not A:** System administration tasks like setting up test environments are typically handled by IT operations or DevOps teams. The BA's UAT role is focused on facilitating the testing process, helping users understand what to test, and ensuring issues are properly documented and addressed.

**Why not B:** Approving test results independently without user involvement defeats the purpose of user acceptance testing. UAT requires actual users to validate the solution against their needs. The BA facilitates the process but does not substitute for user validation and acceptance.

**Why not D:** Writing test automation scripts is a technical testing activity performed by QA engineers or developers. The BA's role in UAT is to prepare test scenarios from acceptance criteria, guide users through testing, and capture results — not to write automation code.
