First, the <strong>requirements<\/strong> must be <strong>analyzed and documented<\/strong>. We should then directly <strong>define validation criteria<\/strong> to ensure that the requirements are correct and complete. After planning and executing the validation, the result should be reviewed and feedback <a href=\"https:\/\/rock-the-prototype.com\/en\/learn-programming\/loops\/\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"In computer science, a loop is a program structure that repeats a sequence of instructions until a certain condition is met.\" class=\"encyclopedia\">loops<\/a> built in to ensure that the requirements fulfill the intended purpose.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"IV_Methods_and_techniques_for_validating_requirements\"><\/span>IV. Methods and techniques for validating requirements<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>There are various <strong>methods and techniques for validating requirements<\/strong>. One option is a <strong>stakeholder review<\/strong>, where <strong>feedback<\/strong> is gathered <strong>from users<\/strong>, <strong>customers<\/strong> and other stakeholders.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Prototyping_simulation_and_mockups\"><\/span>Prototyping, simulation and mockups<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Another approach is the use of <a href=\"https:\/\/rock-the-prototype.com\/prototyping\/prototyping\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><br>\n<strong>prototyping<\/strong><br>\n<\/a> and <strong>simulation<\/strong> to ensure that the requirements have been correctly understood and implemented. For example, <strong>mock-ups<\/strong>, <strong>wireframes<\/strong> or <strong>interaction models<\/strong> can be used to give all stakeholders a <strong>visual impression of our software product<\/strong> or digital service. <a href=\"https:\/\/inztitut.de\/blog\/glossar\/digitale-dienstleistungen\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><br>\n<strong>digital service<\/strong><br>\n<\/a> to all stakeholders.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Tests_and_verification\"><\/span>Tests and verification<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Another important method for validating requirements is the use of tests and verification. The requirements are checked for fulfillment using test cases. Different types of tests can be used, such as functional tests, integration tests or acceptance tests.<\/p>\n<h3>Acceptance criteria &ndash; far too often forgotten and yet indispensable!<\/h3>\n<p>Acceptance criteria are considered the <strong>most proven technique for validating requirements<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>They serve to ensure that a <strong>requirement<\/strong> is <strong>described completely and unambiguously<\/strong> and <strong>can be used directly as criteria for checking the fulfillment of the requirement<\/strong>!<\/p>\n<p>By <strong>defining clear and precise acceptance criteria, we ensure<\/strong> that the <strong>requirements<\/strong> are <strong>understandable and achievable<\/strong> and that the stakeholders share the expectations of the end product.<\/p>\n<h4><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_do_acceptance_criteria_for_validating_requirements_work_in_software_development\"><\/span>How do acceptance criteria for validating requirements work in software development?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n<p>Acceptance criteria are specific conditions or requirements that must be met for a user story or requirement to be considered completed and accepted. They serve as objective criteria to ensure that the finished product or service meets the customer&rsquo;s needs and expectations.<\/p>\n<p>It is important that acceptance criteria are defined clearly and precisely in order to avoid misunderstandings and room for interpretation. They should be measurable and verifiable to ensure that the requirement has been successfully met.<\/p>\n<h4><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"An_example_of_an_acceptance_criterion_could_be\"><\/span>An example of an acceptance criterion could be:<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n<p><em>&ldquo;The page must load within 3 seconds to ensure a positive user experience.&rdquo;<\/em><\/p>\n<p>However, this example is not a good example of a well-defined acceptance criterion, but it serves us well to learn how to improve acceptance criteria effectively:<\/p>\n<p><em>&ldquo;On a smartphone, the page must load within a maximum of 3 seconds to ensure a positive user experience for users with mobile devices.&rdquo;<\/em><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"User_story_format_from_Cohn\"><\/span>User story format from Cohn<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Mike Cohn&rsquo;s user story format is a popular method for documenting requirements based on the customer&rsquo;s needs. It includes a description of the requirement from the customer&rsquo;s point of view, the benefits of the requirement and the acceptance criteria.<\/p>\n<p>User stories are short, concise descriptions of a requirement from the user&rsquo;s perspective. They are an effective method for documenting requirements and help to create a common understanding between developers, customers and other stakeholders. Mike Cohn&rsquo;s format for user stories comprises three elements:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li><strong>Role:<\/strong> The role of the user making the request (e.g. &ldquo;as customer&rdquo;)<\/li>\n<li><strong>Activity:<\/strong> The activity that the user wants to perform (e.g. &ldquo;would like to order a product&rdquo;)<\/li>\n<li><strong>Benefit:<\/strong> The benefit or goal that the user wants to achieve (e.g. &ldquo;to save time and get the desired product quickly&rdquo;)<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>Cohn&rsquo;s format for user stories is:<\/p>\n<p><strong>&ldquo;As I would like to &lt;Goal\/desire&gt;, so &lt;Reason\/benefit&gt;.&rdquo;<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>By using this format, requirements can be communicated clearly and comprehensibly, which in turn helps to avoid misunderstandings and facilitate the validation of requirements.<\/p>\n<p><strong>User story in Cohn&rsquo;s format with the role: Registered user<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>As I would like to, so that .<\/p>\n<p><strong>Acceptance criteria<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Users can access and edit their profile information<\/li>\n<li>User can change their name, profile picture, biography, website link and location<\/li>\n<li>Users can customize their settings for notifications, visibility and privacy<\/li>\n<li>Changes to the profile information are updated immediately<\/li>\n<li>User receives a confirmation that the profile information has been successfully updated<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Create_user_stories_in_Jira\"><\/span>Create user stories in Jira<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<div id=\"attachment_3510\" style=\"width: 1290px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-3510\" class=\"size-full wp-image-3104\" src=\"https:\/\/rock-the-prototype.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/Softwareentwicklung_User_Stories_in_Jira_anlegen.jpg\" alt=\"Software development: Creating user stories in Jira\" width=\"1280\" height=\"1942\" srcset=\"https:\/\/rock-the-prototype.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/Softwareentwicklung_User_Stories_in_Jira_anlegen-198x300.jpg 198w, https:\/\/rock-the-prototype.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/Softwareentwicklung_User_Stories_in_Jira_anlegen-200x303.jpg 200w, https:\/\/rock-the-prototype.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/Softwareentwicklung_User_Stories_in_Jira_anlegen-400x607.jpg 400w, https:\/\/rock-the-prototype.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/Softwareentwicklung_User_Stories_in_Jira_anlegen-600x910.jpg 600w, https:\/\/rock-the-prototype.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/Softwareentwicklung_User_Stories_in_Jira_anlegen-675x1024.jpg 675w, https:\/\/rock-the-prototype.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/Softwareentwicklung_User_Stories_in_Jira_anlegen-768x1165.jpg 768w, https:\/\/rock-the-prototype.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/Softwareentwicklung_User_Stories_in_Jira_anlegen-800x1214.jpg 800w, https:\/\/rock-the-prototype.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/Softwareentwicklung_User_Stories_in_Jira_anlegen-1012x1536.jpg 1012w, https:\/\/rock-the-prototype.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/Softwareentwicklung_User_Stories_in_Jira_anlegen-1200x1821.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/rock-the-prototype.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/Softwareentwicklung_User_Stories_in_Jira_anlegen.jpg 1280w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1280px) 100vw, 1280px\"><p id=\"caption-attachment-3510\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Software development: Creating user stories in Jira<\/p><\/div>\n<p>Another example of a user story in Mike Cohn&rsquo;s format could be as follows: <em>&ldquo;As a customer, I want to add a product to my shopping cart to save time and get the product I want quickly.&rdquo;<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Acceptance criteria for this user story could be<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>The product is successfully added to the shopping cart.<\/li>\n<li>The total amount in the shopping cart is updated automatically.<\/li>\n<li>The customer can change the quantity of the product in the shopping cart or remove the product from the shopping cart.<\/li>\n<li>When the customer completes the order, the shopping cart is emptied.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>By using Mike Cohn&rsquo;s format for user stories and defining acceptance criteria, requirements can be formulated more clearly and comprehensibly.
