Universal Containers is integrating its enterprise resource planning (ERP) with Salesforce
to gain inventory visibility for the sales team. One of the user stories for this project is: ‘’As
a sales rep, I want to be able to find containers dose to my customer so I can tell them
which products they can receive quickly-
Which acceptance criteria is most appropriate for this story?
A. Sales rep can see the inventory closest to a customer with a quick action.
B. As a sales rep, I see the Inventory closest to a customer.
C. Sales rep can see the inventory closest to a customer
A. Sales rep can see the inventory closest to a customer with a quick action.
Explanation:
The acceptance criteria that is most appropriate for this user story is sales rep can see the
inventory closest to a customer with a quick action. Acceptance criteria are specific
conditions or requirements that must be met for a user story to be considered done or
acceptable. Acceptance criteria should be clear, concise, testable, and measurable. Sales
rep can see the inventory closest to a customer with a quick action is an appropriate
acceptance criterion because it specifies what functionality or feature must be delivered
(see the inventory closest to a customer), how it must be delivered (with a quick action),
and who must be able to use it (sales rep). As a sales rep, I see the inventory closest to a customer is not an appropriate acceptance criterion because it does not specify how the
functionality or feature must be delivered or accessed by the user. It is also redundant with
the user story format of “as a [role], I want [what], so that [why]”. Sales rep can see the
inventory closest to a customer is not an appropriate acceptance criterion because it does
not specify how the functionality or feature must be delivered or accessed by the user. It is
also vague and incomplete as it does not indicate what constitutes “closest” or how it is
measured.
