What's Meant by'' Acceptance Criteria Vs. Acceptance Tests''

What is Acceptance Criteria ??

It mentions the defined standards of a software product must meet. These are a set of rules which cover the system behavior and from which we can make acceptance scenarios.

Acceptance Criteria is a set of statements which mentions the result that is pass or fail for both functional and non-functional requirements of the project at the current stage.

These functional and non-functional requirements are the conditions which can be acceptance.

There is no partial acceptance in acceptance criteria, it is is either passed or failed. In Agile, it defines the boundaries of a user story and thus it is used to see whether the user story is complete and working as it should be.
It is also known as test completion criteria and fit criteria. It should be mentioned is a very simple language like a user story which a customer can understand.

It should have the expected result or the outcome written clearly without any ambiguity. The acceptance conditions and non- acceptance conditions should be clearly mentioned in the acceptance criteria.

The Acceptance Criteria should be a high level document and also provide details to understand and useful.

Functional Criteria: Identify the functional and business tasks of the project. For example : the user would be able to update his profile

Non functional Criteria: It constitutes the non-functional specs like the designs requirements are met. For example: the edit and delete buttons comply with the page design.

Performance Criteria: It is measure of response time of a user story. For example: to retrieve the results it takes 2 seconds for the query.

Example of Acceptance Criteria:

User Story: Creation of orders in online shopping cart

Criteria: 1. User should be able to selects multiple items and add to shopping cart.
2. The user should be able to see the items in the shopping cart.
3. The user should be able to purchase items using their local currency.
4. The user should be able to see an order number when the payment method is made

What is Acceptance Tests?
Acceptance Tests are examples of software application behavior from one or more user point of views. Acceptance tests are created from user stories. It is a formal test conducted to determine whether the software application satisfies its Acceptance Criteria and also help the customers to decide whether to accept the system or not. The customer implements the acceptance tests to check whether the user story is completed and correctly implemented. An application can have many acceptance tests to be sure that the functionality of software works. These are black box approach tests. Acceptance tests are different from Unit tests in the way that the acceptance tests are written by the customer and not modeled while the unit tests are written by developers and are modeled.

Acceptance tests are first class requirements artifacts because they describe the criteria by which the stakeholders will determine whether the system meets their needs.

Example of Acceptance Tests:

The customer screen allows user to perform search on first and last names
1. Add few customer names in the database.
2. Display customer search button
3. Enter the name to be searched.
4. Hit Search button.
5. Expected results should be displayed
