User Acceptance Testing, or UAT, is performed by a client or end-user to verify a software system. Once this phase of testing is complete, the software application is moved to the production environment for final testing (which includes testing the system for integration and function).

The conference and event circuit took a big hit on account of the pandemic. Even as governments discuss their ‘exit strategy’–meaning slowly relaxing quarantine measures over the course of weeks or months–it’s hard to imagine conferences going back to normal in the near future. It’s in this setting that we’ve seen events emblematic of physical space and mixing, like Burning Man, go completely online.

We are all looking for ways to help during the COVID crisis. The most important thing most of us can do is simple: stay home. Taking social distancing seriously is our best collective measure against the pandemic right now. But we need to help the people who can’t stay home.

I love dating apps and everything they entail: psychology, branding, messaging, product, etc., so when I was invited to join The Round, I was pumped.
