Acceptance Test Writing FAQs

Question 1

What does the Acceptance Test Writing skill do?

Accepted Answer

This skill acts as a specialized guide for Claude to generate high-quality, testable acceptance criteria using industry-standard Behavior-Driven Development (BDD) and Gherkin syntax (Given-When-Then). It ensures that requirements are clear, measurable, and ready for automation.

Question 2

Does it support formats other than Gherkin?

Accepted Answer

Yes. While it prioritizes Gherkin for behavior-driven scenarios, it also supports a Rule-Oriented Format (checklist style) which is better suited for simple validation rules, system constraints, and configuration requirements.

Question 3

What specific capabilities does it provide for Claude?

Accepted Answer

It provides Claude with structured workflows for analyzing user stories, domain-specific patterns for complex tasks like authentication and error handling, and ready-to-use templates for both rule-oriented and behavior-driven test scenarios.

Question 4

When should I use this skill in my workflow?

Accepted Answer

Use this skill during the requirement gathering or refinement phase. It is ideal for defining the 'Definition of Done' for user stories, converting vague business requirements into technical test cases, and preparing specifications for tools like Cucumber or SpecFlow.

Question 5

How does this skill improve code quality?

Accepted Answer

By establishing a shared language between developers and stakeholders, it reduces ambiguity. The skill includes quality validation checklists and anti-pattern identification, ensuring that tests are specific, independent, and focused on user value rather than implementation details.
