The 3 Cs: Card, Conversation, Confirmation

• The Three Cs of Card, Conversation, Confirmation were suggested by Ron Jeffries in 2001.
• The most common way to specify what is required for Confirmation of your user stories is to create a set of acceptance tests for each user story.

Format of a Rule/Test

GIVEN > WHEN > THEN

Example: If user has no Internet connectivity and user attempts to view the updates, then a No Internet dialog should pop up

GIVEN	WHEN	THEN
user has no Internet connectivity	user attempts to view the updates	a No Internet dialog should pop up
