Ideally, where should acceptance tests be run?

Correct Answer

In the actual environment where the system will be used

Explanation

Ideally, acceptance tests should be run in the actual environment where the system will be used. However, this may be disruptive and impractical - for example, testing a hospital system in a real clinical environment. Therefore, a user testing environment may need to be set up to run the acceptance tests, and some end-user training may be required.
