Acceptance testing is the formal testing phase used to demonstrate that the software performs as required. This is the final stage in the testing process before the software is accepted for operational use. Acceptance testing is the responsibility of the customer. Nevertheless, it has important implications on the project, as its duration impacts the cost and the payment schedule. It is therefore important for both customer and software supplier to ensure the thoroughness of the acceptance test while minimizing its duration. The lack of coordination between acceptance testing and other testing phases ( unit testing, integration testing, and system testing), in addition to customers wish to build confidence in the software, lead to a substantial prolongation of acceptance testing duration. In this paper, we discuss a practical approach to shorten the time of acceptance testing, and we propose a framework for good enough testing derived from the following basic ideas: Involving the customer early in the software testing activities and consider the scope and results of the other testing activities when planning for acceptance testing. Combining acceptance testing with other testing activities will save time and money.
