ability to tick off acceptance criteria

Geert De Cang 12 years ago • updated by Matthew O'Riordan (Founder) 12 years ago • 0
I love the idea of acceptance criteria. I love that they are put in a list.

But I would like to make clear what works and what not. 
There are two options here.

Or I can tick them off in easybacklog, i.e. iso or next to the a) b) c) indication, there is a checkbox (one can even put a line through the text if checked for instance), so I see immediately what is ok and what not

An export to a test management tool suc has Testlink could also be handy :-)
But I think this would take us and you too far from the original concept, no?

Great tool by the way !

Hi Geert

Well we are in fact considering adding tasks, and it would clearly make sense to allow acceptance criteria to be imported as tasks.  See http://easybacklog.userecho.com/topic/94133-assign-a-userresource-to-a-storytask/ for some info on what we have planned.

However, I am not clear on why you want to cross of the acceptance criteria.  Is this for someone who is doing the tests on the story and will approve a story as complete?  I think this kind of action is more to do with sprint and scrum management, so would probably be more applicable when in sprint management mode i.e. before you mark it as complete, you can perhaps tick off acceptance criteria (just for reference) to say those criteria have been passed. We will give this some thought, but not sure yet if this is something we really need as easyBacklog is not really a testing tool, it's a backlog management tool.

In terms of exporting to Testlink, we are in fact working on expanding the export feature to support Gherkin, JIRA and some other simple formats.  What format does Testlink follow?
