CSM - Acceptance Criteria Example Questions

Test your knowledge of Acceptance Criteria

Question 1

For a file-sharing platform, a feature request needs to allow users to upload files up to 50 MB in size. Pick the best acceptance criteria.

Correct Answer: The user must be able to upload a file with a maximum size of 50 MB, and the system should provide a progress indicator and confirmation message upon successful upload.

The correct answer specifies the maximum file size and ensures that the user is informed of the upload progress and completion.

Question 2

A project involves developing a mobile app that stores user's photo memories. One of the requirements is that the photo uploaded by the user should have a caption. What is the most appropriate acceptance criteria for this?

Correct Answer: When a user uploads a photo, they must provide a caption between 1 and 250 characters, and the caption should be displayed with the photo in the gallery.

The correct answer sets the character limits for captions and ensures captions will appear with the corresponding photo in the gallery.

Question 3

You are developing a restaurant reservation application. A user should be able to select a date, time, and also the number of people for the reservation. Which of these is the correct acceptance criteria?

Correct Answer: The system should allow the user to select a date, time, and the number of people for the reservation. It must validate the selection against the restaurant's capacity and booked slots, informing the user of any constraints.

The correct answer effectively encompasses all necessary user actions (selecting a date, time, and number of people) and system responsibilities (validating these selections against existing constraints like booked slots and restaurant's capacity). Other options introduce unnecessary steps, diminish user control, or overly complicate the reservation process without direct benefit.
