UAT & certification
UAT confirms enablement, payment-intent handling, trusted alias resolution, route selection, adapter dispatch, callbacks, credentials, downloads, and operator evidence before production enablement.
The integration demonstrates correctness, security boundary enforcement, and operational visibility with audit-grade evidence. Deviations are documented with approval and risk acceptance.
Coverage areas
UAT must validate both the technical integration and the operational governance surfaces.
Core request flows, callbacks, and state transitions.
Signing, replay controls, idempotency, and boundary rejection.
Retries, timeouts, duplicate deliveries, and recovery behavior.
Access review, credential lifecycle, UAT evidence, and operator accountability outside Core.
Invalid signature, unknown alias, skewed timestamps, malformed payloads.
Workspace access, artifacts/downloads, and readiness gates.
Suggested flow
A structured sequence that reduces rework and keeps evidence defensible.
Evidence model
Evidence must be reproducible and traceable. Use the tracker for consistent collection.
| Field | Description | Example |
|---|---|---|
| Test case ID | Unique identifier for repeatable execution. | UAT-FN-001 |
| Date executed | When the test ran. | 2026-03-26 |
| Environment | Sandbox / UAT (staging) / production-path test. | UAT |
| Outcome | Pass / Fail / Blocked. | PASS |
| Observed behavior | Notes and deviations from expected behavior. | Callback received within 3s; status transitions correct. |
| Evidence links | Screenshots, logs, tickets, correlation IDs. | JIRA-1234 / trace_id=abc |
Acceptance criteria
Readiness gates required before production enablement.
No open functional defects that block core flows.
Signing, replay controls, and idempotency behave correctly under test.
Critical severity issues are closed or formally waived with approval.
Callbacks are correct, timely, and retry-safe across intermediate and terminal states.
The route and adapter snapshot used by Core can be correlated with execution evidence.
Final sign-off should include operator approval, partner confirmation, and recorded evidence links for audit traceability.
