Abstract
In this paper we 1) review industry acceptance testing practices and 2 ) present a systematic approach to scenario analysis and its applicati on to acceptance testing with the aim to improve the current practice. It summarizes the existing practice into categories and identifies th e serious weakness. Then, a new approach based on the formal scenario analysis is presented. It is systematic, and easily applicable to any software or system. A simple, yet realistic example is used to illustr ate its effectiveness. Finally, its benefits and its applicability are summarized.
