Acceptance tests
CSSE 221 – Fundamentals of Software Development Honors
Fall 2008–2009

An acceptance test is a test that the user could do to judge whether or not to accept the software.

• So NO reference to classes or other project internals.
• You can, and probably should, refer to your list of features in writing the acceptance tests.
• Each test must state what the user should do and how the program should respond.
• A real-life project might have hundreds of acceptance tests. For your Simulation project, limit yourself to about 15 to 30 acceptance tests.
  • So each team member should supply 5 to 10 acceptance tests.
