[All CTAL-TA_Syll2019 Questions]

You have been given a user story for an ATM application and have been reviewing it. The following are two of the acceptance criteria:

AC 1: The account balance must be displayed to the user as fast as possible to ensure they do not leave during the transaction.

AC 2: The user must log in easily before they can display their balance

From the information provided here and by applying the review checklist in the syllabus, what is the major problem with the acceptance criteria?

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: B

The correct answer is B. The acceptance criteria are not testable.

The acceptance criteria are not testable

The acceptance criteria are not testable because they are vague and subjective. They do not specify any measurable or observable outcomes or conditions that can be verified by the test analyst. For example, what does ''as fast as possible'' or ''easily'' mean in terms of performance and usability? How can the test analyst determine if the user does not leave during the transaction or if they log in easily? The acceptance criteria should be rewritten to include clear and quantifiable criteria, such as response time, error rate, user satisfaction, etc1.
