Characterizing the Software Acceptance Testing and the Inclusion of People with Disabilities by Means of a Systematic Mapping

Acceptance testing is a test technique where the final user evaluates the actual use of the software. In this test, software must meet the acceptance criteria defined on the requirement engineering phase to be approved. This paper describes the participation of the person with a disability in acceptance testing in terms of testing approaches, tools and user feedback. By performing a systematic mapping, we analyzed 609 articles, of which 58 were considered to answer four research questions. We identified that acceptance tests have no standard and present a dispersed variety of approaches and tools. We also few acceptance tests studies applied to testers with disabilities, although this approach has been rising in recent years. Considering accessibility for all users when including them in acceptance tests can ensure greater reach of users to systems
