The Accepting Engineering Deliverables assignment is designed to assess one’s ability to check if both business and technical requirements are fully and correctly implemented by engineering in a software release. A use case, a high-fidelity design, the tickets created for engineering implementation, and the corresponding engineering deliverables are provided to simulate a realistic work-example. The acceptance checks expected on the engineering deliverables cover: functional issues compared to what was specified in the use case, non-functional technical implementation gaps compared to what was specified in the engineering tasks, and design misalignments.

In a traditional organization, this activity is usually performed by a (technical) product owner or product manager.
About This Assessment:
An importation function in any company that builds software is validating that both business and technical requirements specified as inputs for engineering have been correctly implemented, and that main use case is achieved, without breaking or leaving gaps in related use cases. This function is usually named “acceptance” and is usually performed by an agile product owner, a product manager, a technical team lead, a delivery manager or sometimes even a hands-on software engineering manager. This is different from the exhaustive testing that quality assurance engineers will do.
