To answer the question simply .... User Acceptance testing should be done in a separate QA environment, by the user team who will be signing off the change.
The developers integration testing is purely a place where the developer finds out if his program plays nicely with everyone else, and normally only has a subset of data to play with. But, as Don pointed out it can get very convoluted, depending on when and who gives the signoff, and how much functional and volume testing is required to be executed. Hope that helps ...
