Acceptance tests and requirements are linked. You can’t have one without the other. The tests clarify and amplify the requirements. A test that fails shows that the system does not properly implement a requirement. A test that passes is a specification of how the system works.

Learn how software applications can be specified, continuously developed, tested and delivered and how testing supports the flow from requirements through to acceptable systems. In the Agile community, Acceptance-Test Driven Development (ATDD), Behaviour-Driven Development (BDD), Test-Driven Development (TDD) and Specification by Example are gaining greater acceptance as an effective approach to developing systems of high quality and business value.
