CustomerAcceptanceTest
Last edit November 22, 2004
In the beginning, there was the
FunctionalTest
, and that was good enough for
ExtremeProgrammingExplainedEmbraceChange
.
Then (like the name-shift from
UnitTest
to
ProgrammerTest
), eXtremos learned they needed to distinguist FTs written by programmers and those specified in conjunction with
UserStories
. So they changed the name to
AcceptanceTest
, and thence to
CustomerTest
.
Befuddled teams in the trenches hence started calling them
CustomerAcceptanceTest
s.
The best are the kind non-programmers can author on the fly. See
