Acceptance Criteria
Acceptance criteria are the conditions or requirements that a product, service, or process must meet to be considered satisfactory and approved. They define what "good enough" looks like.
TECHNICAL DEFINITION
Acceptance criteria are predefined, measurable conditions or requirements that a product, process, or deliverable must satisfy to be deemed acceptable by stakeholders, serving as the basis for formal approval and release in quality management systems.
BACKGROUND
In engineering and its various subdisciplines, acceptance testing is a test conducted to determine if the requirements of a specification or contract are met. It may involve chemical tests, physical tests, or performance tests.
