Comparison of Acceptance Testing vs. Unit Testing:

FeatureAcceptance TestingUnit Testing
DefinitionVerifies that a system meets the user's needs and business requirements.Verifies that individual units of code (functions, modules) work correctly.
GoalValidate if the system meets user requirements and business objectivesVerify individual units of code function correctly in isolation
TesterEnd users, business stakeholders, QA testersDevelopers
ScopeEntire system or featureIndividual function, class, or module
FocusUser experience, functionality, business valueLogic, error handling, edge cases
PurposeEnsure the system satisfies business requirements and is ready for deployment.Verify that each part of the software functions correctly in isolation.
DataReal-world or simulated data reflecting user scenariosControlled, predetermined data
TechniquesBlack-box testing, usability testing, exploratory testingWhite-box testing, code coverage analysis
Pass/Fail CriteriaDoes the system meet user expectations and deliver business value?Does the code behave as intended and produce correct results?
DependenciesRequires integration with other systems and componentsDoes not depend on other parts of the system
ExecutionLater in the development lifecycle (after system integration)Early in the development lifecycle (during development)
FrequencyLess frequent, can be manual or automatedMore frequent, typically automated
BenefitsEnsures user satisfaction and identifies critical issues before releaseDetects bugs early, improves code quality
AutomationFrequently automated to run quickly and efficiently during development.Automation is common but may involve end-to-end testing tools.
Common Bugs DetectedLocalized coding errors and logic issues within units.Integration issues, requirement mismatches, usability problems.
