Acceptance criteria
Acceptance criteria are short, testable statements that say exactly when a user story is done.
"I don't want vague requirements — I want to know precisely when to stop coding and start testing."
Acceptance criteria are clear, binary conditions for a user story that everyone (devs, QA, PO) can verify; they avoid ambiguity by being specific, testable, and measurable.
