Using it for UAT

• Set Scope to the UAT scope or acceptance criteria.
• Under Test results, count the UAT scenarios the business users ran.
• The decider is the business owner who accepts the release, not the delivery team.

For an Excel or Word version, paste the block into a two-column table (field, value).

Record the video part

For UAT, a 2-minute walkthrough recording of the accepted flow is a useful attachment to the sign-off. Bobbin is a free Chrome extension that records your screen, a window or a tab with your microphone and an optional webcam bubble. No account, no watermark, no time limit, and nothing is uploaded: the file stays on your computer.

1. Click the Bobbin icon in Chrome's toolbar and choose Record screen, window or tab.
2. Pick your microphone and turn on the camera if you want the webcam bubble.
3. Press Start recording, choose what to share in Chrome's picker, and wait for the 3-second countdown.
4. Pause with Alt+Shift+P, stop with Alt+Shift+S, then press Download to save the file.

Share a window or the entire screen so your webcam bubble is in the video (it doesn't appear in single-tab recordings). Bobbin saves MP4 where your browser supports it (Chrome 126 or newer), WebM otherwise, and tells you which it used.

File size: our 60-minute 1080p test came to about 246 MB (roughly 4 MB a minute) on a simple synthetic screen; busy real screens can be larger, so a 1–2 minute clip is usually small enough to attach.
