[EBOB-DISCUSS] Rally "acceptance"

[Liam M. <lm...@wp...>]

Rally's glossary definition of 'acceptance' is "An activity whereby the 
customer accepts the validity of a software functionality as a partial 
or complete performance of a stated system behavior." Whose job is it to 
do acceptance testing, then? It seems that that kind of thing would be 
Professor Pollice's job- we do functional testing etc., Gary does 
acceptance testing to make sure we've got the same goals. Does that 
sound right, or am I thinking of something totally different? Should we 
'hire' a new 'customer'? It seems that the XP Way is to have someone 
external do the acceptance testing.
