Abstract
Unit tests are tests of code modules by the programmers who created them. Acceptance tests are tests of software functionality from a customer, or user, perspective. Both types of tests are important. Tools and practices to support and encourage unit testing on extreme programming and other agile projects are well-developed and well-documented. This workshop discusses and develops practices for supporting acceptance testing on agile projects. (Some refer to acceptance testing as system or functional testing. GUI testing is a common approach.)
