Well, in our case we start with a QA group that tests to ensure that the software does not affect our business critical, core applications. We're a hospital so we make sure that any application that will be going out does not break our key patient care applications.
Once an application has passed that QA it goes out to a subset of users identified by the "owners" of the app. The "owners" are usually the people that requested the application in the first place and varies from one app to another. These users perform user acceptance testing. Their responsibility it to make sure that the application functions correctly and does what it is supposed to do. Once the "owners" sign off, depending on the number of intended users we'll do a pilot and then a multi-day deployment of the application.

We have a robust software certification process. The operational teams basically have a rule, if it's not certified, it doesn't get installed. Some installs require our Security teams approval before each install. Some installs have special approvers like a license manager or the IT Owner of that application. We are slowly working towards all installs using the PSADT and SCCM as well.
