Acceptance Tests

Are tests specified by the [see page 44, client] of a software system. They show that the system meets the requirements needed by the client.

These [see page 46, tests] don't all have to pass to accept new code into the code-base (like is common with CI), in fact the ratio of passing to failing tests can be used to measure the project-velocity (sum of story-points over iteration). I.E. What percentage of the customers acceptance test cases pass?
