Description

User Story Testing provides positive confirmation feedback, making it the perfect complement to standard exploratory bug reports. User Stories are properties of Features, and each may be executed a maximum of three times.

Benefits

User Story Testing leverages the low maintenance and crowd-creativity of guided exploratory testing, as well as the positive validation and confidence that comes with test cases. 

Getting Started - Writing User Stories

  1. Go to the Manage Features page for the desired Product.

  2. Click on the 3 dots > Edit > Add User Story

  3. Write the User Story. (see Best Practices below)

Creating a Test with User Stories

  • Add User Stories to any test type, except Usability Tests.

  • Select desired User Stories to add them to the scope of a test.

Viewing User Story Test Results

  • View results on the Overview tab

  • Click on a User Story to reveal individual execution information

Best Practices When Writing User Stories

  • Use goal-oriented language, not step-oriented.

  • Write from a user perspective.

  • Define one objective Pass/Fail criteria per User Story.

  • User Story scope is small enough that it can be executed in a few minutes or less.

  • Always include expected behavior language in the Feature description in addition to the User Stories.

  Optimal Use Cases

  • Exploratory testing results have been valuable, but you would like positive validation feedback on a subset of the functionality. 

  • Scheduled Test results are consistently yielding little to no bugs.

  • Likelihood of finding bugs is low due to mature product or small-scope tests.
