Because they are involved and using the system from an early stage they can get changes made to the system as its being built. Obviously, this will reduce the time needed for UAT at the end of the work - as they will already be happy with the system more or less from model office testing. You could think of the model office as being like performing E2E testing with real users, beginning very early within the project's lifecycle. Hope that answers your question. Denis Hi Charlie,

I view the model office as a way to get the people who’ll use the system involved in testing it during its development. Because they are involved and using the system from an early stage they can get changes made to the system as its being built.

Obviously, this will reduce the time needed for UAT at the end of the work – as they will already be happy with the system more or less from model office testing. You could think of the model office as being like performing E2E testing with real users, beginning very early within the project’s lifecycle.

Hope that answers your question.

Would it been seen as running instead of or alongside traditional user test? How does the model office relate to UAT end-to-end testing?
