Generate using AI Genius

SimplifyQA leverages AI to automatically generate acceptance criteria based on the user story description. This feature ensures that acceptance criteria are well-structured, precise, and aligned with the intended functionality, reducing manual effort and improving consistency across teams.

What is Acceptance Criteria?

Acceptance criteria define the conditions that a user story must meet to be considered complete. They serve as a guideline for developers, testers, and stakeholders to validate whether a feature works as expected.

Example of a User Story & AI-Generated Acceptance Criteria in SimplifyQA

User Story Description:

"As a customer, I want to reset my password so that I can regain access to my account."

AI-Generated Acceptance Criteria:

• The customer must be able to access the "Forgot Password" option from the login page.

• The system must prompt the customer to enter their registered email address or username to initiate the password reset process.

• The system must validate the entered email address or username to ensure it exists in the database.

• If the provided email address or username is invalid, a clear error message must be displayed (e.g., "Email address not found").

• Upon valid input, the system must send a password reset link or OTP to the customer's registered email address or phone number.

• The password reset link or OTP must expire after a predefined duration (e.g., 15 minutes).

• The customer must be able to access the password reset page via the reset link or enter OTP to proceed with resetting their password.

• The password reset page must enforce security requirements for new passwords (e.g., minimum length, mix of uppercase/lowercase/special characters, no reuse of old passwords).

• A confirmation message must be displayed upon successful password reset (e.g., "Your password has been reset successfully").

• The customer must be able to log in with the newly reset password.
