You are testing a large e-commerce system for household goods that is being implemented using Agile methodologies. You are currently working on deriving tests for stories that are implementing the following epic: As a customer, I want to use the e-commerce system, so that I can have my purchased goods delivered to my house. The story you are currently working on is: As a customer, I want to be told when my items will be delivered, so I can plan to be home. You have been given the following charter that was proposed by another tester for testing this story: Login as a customer, buy enough of each item to qualify for free shipping for each item, checkout, and verify that no shipping fee has been added. What is the main flaw in this charter?

Answer options

A: It focuses on the delivery company instead of the activities of the user

B: It does not cover the main functionality of the user story Correct answer

C: The expected results are not defined

D: The actions of the user are not clearly stated in the charter

Correct Answer:

B. It does not cover the main functionality of the user story

Explanation

Review of User Story: The story's focus is on notifying the customer of the delivery time, not the shipping fee or free shipping qualification. Analyzing the Charter: The charter mentions verifying shipping fees, which is unrelated to the functionality of the user story. It does not address delivery time notifications, which are the main purpose of the user story. Alignment with Agile Testing Principles: Agile testing requires charters to align closely with the story’s intent and customer goals. Conclusion: The main flaw is that the charter does not test the core functionality of the story, making Option B correct.
