      User Acceptance Testing (UAT) & validation

      Using our UAT scripts, your team will log in to your sandbox environment to test Pepper Cloud and ensure everything is working as expected. Pepper Flow is a validated platform; however, if your company requires additional validation testing, it can be completed at this stage.
