Method
Keep the user task, test condition and observed outcome linked as the work advances.
Criterion frame
Separate actor, need, starting state, action and visible outcome. Missing information stays visible.
Scenario paths
Given records context, When names the event and Then states the observable expectation. An alternate path has its own outcome.
Coverage map
Match criterion identifiers to scenario identifiers. A link shows traceability, not execution or a pass.
Observation record
Keep entered expected and observed results in separate columns with environment and reference context.
Defect packet
Order repeatable steps, expectation, actual observation and impact without declaring a cause.
Release board
Display each entered gate state and unresolved item; an owner makes the release decision.
