Acceptance Criteria Validation
Acceptance Criteria Validation is the process of verifying that a software feature, user story, or release meets the predefined acceptance criteria agreed on by stakeholders, developers, and testers. It confirms that the implemented behavior satisfies business, functional, and quality expectations before the work is considered complete or ready for release. The validation is typically performed through manual testing, automated tests, or a combination of both.
