QuestionQ339

Delivery

During backlog refinement, a team regularly creates tests that demonstrate to the customer that every acceptance criterion has been satisfied. Most acceptance-test results are observable or demonstrable, but the team is having difficulty testing one requirement. The requirement says that the home button must be recognizable, and the team is unsure how to test it.

What should the team lead do?

  • A Determine if the home button is present and if it is shaped like a house, it is recognizable.
  • B Record the product owner’s opinion on how they will know if the button is recognizable.
  • C Skip creating a specific test for this particular requirement because it is too abstract.
  • D Consult the design team as subject matter experts (SMEs) for criteria on what makes a button recognizable.
Explanation

A subjective acceptance criterion must be clarified into observable acceptance evidence by the product owner, who represents customer needs and is accountable for clearly communicating Product Backlog items. Recording how the product owner will determine that the button is recognizable creates a testable basis for acceptance.
