Acceptance Testing (UAT) category vision
Category Label: ~"acceptance testing" | [Issue List](https://gitlab.com/groups/gitlab-org/-/issues?scope=all&utf8=%E2%9C%93&state=opened&label_name[]=acceptance%20testing&sort=milestone) | [Overall Vision](https://about.gitlab.com/direction/verify)
## Description
Getting your in-development software in front of real users, whether they be internal testers, key stakeholders, public or private betas, and more, is the best way to collect human feedback and ensure you're delivering the right thing. For GitLab, this could involve exposing Review Apps to an end-user audience, but more often it involves a form of staging deployment that is accessed by end-users before deployment to the full production environment.
