Objective
Build a UAT scenario library that proves process readiness with clear expected results and evidence.
Case study 18
Portfolio knowledge project
Finance UAT Scenario Library
A reusable UAT library for Fusion Financials and EPM — happy paths, negatives, edge cases, expected results, and evidence capture so testing proves readiness.
Knowledge / portfolio case study only. Not employment history, not a named client engagement, and not a certification claim.
Context
Weak UAT creates production surprises. Strong UAT creates confidence.
Scope
Scenario taxonomy, templates, priority model, evidence standard, and sample packs for GL/P2P/O2C/EPM.
Approach
Define scenario types → write templates → prioritize by risk → execute sample set → capture evidence → triage defects.
- 01TaxonomyHappy, negative, edge, regression.
- 02TemplatesSteps, data, expected result.
- 03Priority modelCritical vs nice-to-have.
- 04ExecutionCycle plan and owners.
- 05Sign-offEvidence + residual risk.

Key design decisions
- Critical paths first
- Don't drown in low-risk cases.
- Expected results must be measurable
- Pass/fail clarity.
- Retest after every fix
- Avoid false confidence.
Walkthrough
Run AP happy path → run duplicate invoice negative → run period close gate → log defect → retest → sign off.
Controls
No go-live without critical scenario pass; defects severity-rated; evidence stored with scenario ID.
