Abstract

A computer-implemented method, system and computer program product for performing user acceptance testing. A virtual environment for virtual sponsor users to interact with a feature or a function of a software product is created. Such virtual sponsor users are virtual representations of actual or real sponsor users. Each of these virtual sponsor users are then assigned a persona type profile of a target audience. Such persona type profiles include the character traits of a user, such as a user or member of the target audience. Interactions of the virtual sponsor users with the feature or the function of the software product are then simulated and tracked. The rate of acceptance of the feature or the function of the software product is then determined based on such tracked interactions. In this manner, user acceptance testing is performed in a swiftly manner that is cost effective.
