User Journeys & Acceptance Criteria in Flowriter

PreviousSave changes to a flowchartNextGenerate Acceptance Criteria

Last updated 5 months ago

Flowriter automatically writes documentation based on the content and logic in a Story's flowchart. It produces these documents:

  1. User Journeys, and

  2. Acceptance Criteria.

User Journeys

User Journeys outline the steps and decisions users make to achieve their goals, and inform the Acceptance Criteria.

Flowriter analyzes and assesses all possible paths that a user or system may take when interacting with the feature, based on the flowchart structure to produce the User Journeys:

User Journey mapping is important. It helps the feature owner understand if all possible tasks that a user or system need to complete are considered in the documentation. They are also useful for preparing Test Plans to ensure that the final feature implementation is correct and has full test coverage.

Acceptance Criteria

A Story's Acceptance Criteria is automatically generated, and consists of two (2) parts:

  • Role, Goal, and Benefit statement

  • Gherkin -style Scenarios within an overall Feature statement

Role, Goal, and Benefit statement

This summarizes the overall feature described in the flowchart and identified User Journeys, and is presented in this format:

As a [user/system/...] ... I want to ... So that ...

Gherkin -style Feature/Scenario statements

These defines how the feature should behave based on User Journeys. These criteria are generated in , a structured format that can be read by both humans and scripts.
