Acceptance Criteria Testability Checker

Pro v1.0.0 1 view

Transform vague acceptance criteria into specific, testable conditions with measurable pass/fail thresholds.

What You Get

Eliminate ambiguous acceptance criteria and QA confusion by transforming subjective requirements into clear, testable specifications with measurable thresholds.

The Problem

Product teams struggle with acceptance criteria containing vague terms like 'fast', 'user-friendly', or 'intuitive' which lead to misaligned expectations, failed QA testing, delayed releases, and post-launch defects. Without objective measurements, developers build to their interpretation, QA can't write effective tests, and stakeholders disagree on whether requirements are met.

The Solution

Analyzes each acceptance criterion to identify subjective, vague, or unmeasurable language. Classifies criteria as testable, partially testable, or not testable, then generates 2-3 concrete rewrite alternatives for each vague criterion. Each rewrite includes measurable thresholds (seconds, percentages, counts), observable behaviors QA can verify, and clear pass/fail boundaries. Provides domain-specific metrics (web load times, mobile FPS, API latency) and recommends which alternatives best capture original intent.

How It Works

  1. 1 Parse user story context and extract current acceptance criteria list
  2. 2 Analyze each criterion for subjective terms, missing measurements, and non-observable statements
  3. 3 Classify each criterion as testable, partially testable, or not testable with specific issues
  4. 4 Generate 2-3 testable rewrite alternatives with different focuses (user behavior, technical metrics, benchmarks)
  5. 5 Specify measurable thresholds, observable behaviors, and clear pass/fail boundaries for each rewrite
  6. 6 Provide recommendations on which alternatives best capture original intent
  7. 7 Generate summary with before/after testability statistics and final recommended acceptance criteria

What You'll Need

  • User story or feature description for context
  • Current acceptance criteria (list of statements to analyze)
  • Optional: Domain context (web, mobile, API, data/analytics)
