Acceptance Testing

Acceptance testing is the process of verifying that a software product meets its business requirements & user expectations and is ready for release. It is typically performed by a team of testers who use a variety of techniques to ensure that the product is bug-free and meets the needs of its users. It is the final phase of software testing done to ensure that the software functions correctly and is ready for deployment.

Active Learning

Active learning is a teaching strategy that requires learners to participate and engage through thinking, discussing, investigating, and creating. Rather than listening alone, students practice skills, solve problems, ponder complex questions, make decisions, propose solutions, and explain ideas in their own words—both through writing and discussion.

Algorithm

An algorithm is a finite sequence of well-defined, computer-implementable instructions, typically to solve a class of problems or to perform a computation.
