The sad thing is, that to perform User Acceptance Testing you need User's. You sit then down and give them a intro on the system and let them try it and observe what they do. You then note down what they do, what areas they have problems with and ask them for feedback on what they like, what they hate and what they think could be done better.

According to that spec the tester who is employed will be doing all that testing, that's verification, not UAT!!!!

Sounds like both the agent and the client are muppets, not a job I would go near....

The guy's name is Palin

Perhaps he has been adopted by the ex-Python on his travels and smuggled himself into the country. Having no discernible skills to his name the only trade open to him was as a recruitment consultant.

Hey Agent, how about telling us which "local language"? isn't that quite important?

Whatever they talk in West Yorkshire - certainly not English

Check base translations of marketing content and Web property files (user messages) to ensure they use suitable and intelligible local language terminology.

Ah, that explains it

I notice that the agent didn't correct the abysmal spelling on that advert though

He's still advertising for a spellchecker operator.

I suspect the mean that NO amount of money is worth doing User Acceptance Testing for.
