Salesforce User Experience Designer Practice Exam

What is a characteristic of acceptance criteria?

1. Limited to three testing statements

2. Answered with only a true or false

3. Listed from easiest to hardest

4. Only written in negative phrasing

The correct answer is: Answered with only a true or false

Acceptance criteria serve as a set of predefined conditions that a product must meet to be accepted by a user, stakeholder, or in the context of a project, by the product owner. They provide clarity and guidance for the development team on what is expected from the feature or task. Focusing on the characteristic that acceptance criteria are answered with only a true or false statement is significant because it establishes a clear, binary framework for evaluating whether the criteria have been met. This binary nature allows stakeholders to easily assess the completion and functionality of a feature without ambiguity. When the criteria are met, the feature can be considered accepted, while any failure to meet a criterion indicates that further work is needed. Other aspects of acceptance criteria that do not focus on this binary evaluation can vary widely in format and structure, but the essence remains that they should be clear enough to facilitate straightforward confirmation or denial based on the predefined requirements.
