During this test tester verify the usabilty features provided by the application like easy to use easy to learn look and feel navigation help etc. which should attract the client and usabilty is a part of user acceptance testing.

UAT(user acceptance testing) means the client users will conduct the Acceptance testing to verify whether the S.W is working according to there bussiness requirement.

Client not only checks the requirement but also usability features.

In usability testing we test the user friendliness of the application.we test the GUI object text displayed on the GUI object & messages displayed for the user to give the information about the application.

It is done on the basis of some predefined criteria given by the user interms of SRS(system Review Specification.Here we check wheather the application is meeting all the requirements of user or not and is going to acceptable by the user or not.

RE: what is the difference between usability testing &...

UAT is a form of Acceptance testing conducted from the user's perspective.( i.e. involving User representatives) This testing phase is used to test the system as a wholeto ensure that it meets its stated business requirements and that it performs within defined constraints. This testing phase takes place after system testinghas been completed.

Usability testing a particular type of Nonfunctional Testing that focuses on the ease of use of the application under test from the perspective of the End user. Issues to be considered in Usability testing include the intuitivesness consistency and clarity or understandability of the user interface.

Usability Testing - is to test the user-friendliness of the software.

Easy to use look speed in interface.

User Acceptance Testing - is to gather feedback from customer before releasing the software to the customer.
Alpha and Beta testing are subtests in UAT.
