Requirement
Acceptance test cases written in the domain-specific test language must be understandable and independently extendable by testers without software-development background.
Acceptance Criteria
- Onboarding comprehension: in an onboarding exercise with >= 5 new testers, >= 80% correctly explain the intent and main structure of a representative acceptance test within <= 60 min; scope: current DSL, test template, and documentation set; source: moderated onboarding exercise log; horizon: each major DSL or template release.
- Independent authoring: in the same evaluation, >= 80% of participants create or modify one acceptance test for a new business rule within <= 45 min without developer assistance; scope: representative business scenarios from the current release; source: exercise review report; horizon: each major DSL or template release.
- Gate behavior: if either threshold is missed, release of DSL, template, or documentation changes is blocked within <= 1 business day after the evaluation report is available; scope: all major changes to the acceptance-test authoring experience; source: release gate log; horizon: every major DSL or template release.
Monitoring Artifact
Acceptance-test authoring evaluation report and release gate.
