FAQPage Schema
How do I create ATDD feature files before implementation?▼

To create ATDD feature files before implementation, run the new-feature command with your feature name to generate a standardized Gherkin template and pause for a team review gate prior to coding.

What is a pre-implementation review gate for Gherkin feature files?▼

A pre-implementation review gate for Gherkin feature files is a workflow checkpoint that pauses development to ensure the ATDD acceptance criteria align with user stories before any coding begins.

How do I standardize Gherkin feature file templates for Value Stream Mapping?▼

You standardize Gherkin feature file templates for Value Stream Mapping workflows by applying a consistent structure that provides VSM workshop-specific scenario guidance and prevents ambiguity in acceptance criteria.

When do I need to define acceptance criteria using a feature file template?▼

You need to define acceptance criteria using a feature file template when teams are defining new features, ensuring a clear Gherkin structure and a review-driven workflow to prevent ambiguity before development starts.

Can I integrate ATDD feature file creation with existing Value Stream Mapping processes?▼

Yes, you can integrate ATDD feature file creation with existing Value Stream Mapping processes through VSM workshop-specific scenario guidance that ensures alignment with your current workflows.

What is the best way to prevent ambiguity in acceptance criteria before coding?▼

The best way to prevent ambiguity in acceptance criteria before coding is to automate the creation of ATDD feature files using a standard Gherkin template and enforce a review gate prior to implementation.
