Actual exam question for Appian's ACA100 exam

Question #: 6
Topic #: 5

You are translating a user requirement into a user story and need to ensure that the desired functionality will be delivered as expected.

What needs to be written into the user story to ensure it will meet the requirement?

AEstimation of effort to develop

BBusiness value

CTest Script

DAcceptance criteria

Show Suggested Answer

Suggested Answer: D

When translating a user requirement into a user story, it is essential to include acceptance criteria to ensure that the desired functionality will be delivered as expected. Acceptance criteria provide clear, testable conditions that define when a user story is complete and meets the requirement. This ensures that the development team has a clear understanding of what needs to be built and how it will be validated, reducing the risk of miscommunication and ensuring the final product aligns with the user's needs. Reference: Appian Documentation - Writing Effective User Stories

Note: While business value (B) and estimation of effort (A) are important elements of a user story, they do not directly ensure that the functionality will meet the requirement. The test script (C) is typically created after the user story is developed.

Estimation of effort seems a bit off for a user story, right?

I feel like estimation of effort is less about the requirement and more about planning, so it might not be the best choice here.

I practiced a similar question, and I think test scripts might be more relevant after the user story is written, not in the story itself.

The test script could be helpful too, to verify the user story is implemented correctly. But I agree, the acceptance criteria is probably the most important piece.

I think option B looks familiar since it uses the INTERSECTION keyword, which we practiced in class.

Acceptance criteria all the way! Without that, you're just shooting in the dark. It's like trying to hit a target while blindfolded - good luck with that!
