Acceptance Tests

While acceptance criteria define the conditions or requirements that new functionality must meet, acceptance tests are the practical steps taken to verify these criteria are fulfilled. The criteria establish expectations and foster a mutual understanding of what constitutes a valuable and useful outcome. Acceptance tests, on the other hand, evaluate if these expectations are met in the actual software product, facilitating fast feedback cycles and promoting rapid learning.

Example:

"The user clicks on this button, and the credit score is returned." This test would result in either a pass or fail.
