# External User Acceptance Testing (UAT)

External UAT (User Acceptance Testing) is an important phase in the development cycle where clients can assess the AI-driven decision-making solutions against their real-world requirements and use-cases.

This process involves stakeholders from the client's side performing tests on various scenarios that the knowledge map is expected to handle.

By executing these tests, stakeholders can verify that the Rainbird platform delivers accurate, consistent, and valuable outcomes as per the predefined criteria, ensuring that the final product aligns with business objectives and user expectations.

{% hint style="info" %}
External UAT in this context is to allow users without Rainbird accounts to validate the knowledge has been captured correctly through running queries and validating the interaction behaviour and decisions provided.
{% endhint %}

The simplest way to perform UAT is by [publishing an agent](/rainbird/knowledge-modelling/publishing-your-km/publishing-an-agent.md) and sharing the link with you colleagues.
