Metadata
Build number, environment, tester identity, and timestamp so teams can reproduce and link work to the correct code baseline.
A formal Voice of Customer (VoC) report during UAT improves traceability, reduces ambiguity in defect reports, and aligns development priorities to what actual users experience. It creates consistent data for post-test analysis and stakeholder review.
Assign an owner to consolidate reports and escalate critical defects; this reduces duplicate submissions and speeds resolution.
| Field | Configuration |
|---|---|
| Required Fields | Make Product, Steps, Severity, and Evidence mandatory. |
| Auto-populate | Pre-fill build and environment values from CI metadata. |
| Routing Rules | Route critical items to on-call engineering and product leads. |
| Notification | Enable email or team channel alerts on high severity. |
Secure integrations and clear attribution reduce follow-up time and provide the audit trail required for release decisions and compliance review.
Open for the duration of the UAT cycle, typically 1–3 weeks.
Within 48 hours of submission for severity assessment and assignment.
Target times vary by severity: 24–72 hours for critical items.
Allow 1–3 days for QA retest after a fix is deployed.
Decision made at the end of the UAT window by product and QA.
Tester submits VoC with evidence and required fields completed.
Product/QA classifies severity and assigns engineering resources.
Engineering produces a build addressing the reported issue.
QA verifies fixes and product approves release readiness.
Build number, environment, tester identity, and timestamp so teams can reproduce and link work to the correct code baseline.
Clear, ordered steps with expected results reduce back-and-forth and speed verification.
A consistent severity rubric (Low/Medium/High/Critical) helps prioritize limited engineering capacity.
Screenshots, logs, or short video clips substantiate observations and preserve transient UI states.
Describe lost functionality, revenue exposure, or compliance risk to inform prioritization.
Designate assignee groups, escalation paths, and expected SLAs for closure and verification.
