The Requirements Abstraction in User Stories and Executable Acceptance Tests
نویسندگان
چکیده
Specifying requirements is a complex task because information can be represented at varying levels of abstraction. This paper looks at two types ofion. This paper looks at two types of requirements abstractions: user story and executable acceptance test. We present how user story and executable acceptance tests are integrated in our project planning tool called Agile Planner with Fit and we argue that translation between information abstractions is an important feature in planning tools.ions is an important feature in planning tools.

Behaviour-Driven Development of Foundational UML Components
Behaviour-Driven Development (BDD) focuses all development activities on the delivery of behaviours what a system should do, described such that developers and domain experts speak the same language. BDD frameworks allow users to represent the required system behaviour as executable user stories and the acceptance criteria as executable scenarios attached to user stories. In this paper we defin...
متن کاملSuitability of Requirements Abstraction Model (RAM) Requirements for High-Level System Testing
The Requirements Abstraction Model (RAM) helps in managing abstraction in requirements by organizing them at four levels (product, feature, function and component). The RAM is adaptable and can be tailored to meet the needs of the various organizations. Because software requirements are an important source of information for developing high-level tests, organizations willing to adopt the RAM mo...

Executable Acceptance Test Driven Development (EATDD) is an extension of Test Driven Development (TDD). TDD requires that unit tests are written before any code. EATDD pushes this TDD paradigm to the customer level by using Acceptance Tests to specify the requirements and features of a system. The Acceptance Tests are mapped to a Fixture that permits the automated execution of the tests. With o...
متن کاملUsing acceptance tests as a support for clarifying requirements: A series of experiments
One of the main reasons for the failure of many software projects is the late discovery of a mismatch between the customers’ expectations and the pieces of functionality implemented in the delivered system. At the root of such a mismatch is often a set of poorly defined, incomplete, under-specified, and inconsistent requirements. Test driven development has recently been proposed as a way to cl...
متن کاملValidating Object-Oriented Specifications through Animation
An important task in the conceptual modelling process of information systems is the validation of the model. The validation task has the objective of checking whether the model correctly and adequately expresses the requirements informally stated by the users. Diierent techniques and tools have been developed to support this task. We propose an animation tool for an object-oriented speciication...
