Logic Hunt: Testing Specs & User Stories
🎯 What This Module Is About
Documents lie. Not intentionally — but through what they don't say.
A spec that only describes the happy path is a trap. A user story without Acceptance Criteria is a wish. A requirement with the word "intuitively" is a bug waiting to happen.
This is the most important module in the course. Here you learn to read between the lines.
🎓 What You'll Learn
- How to find missing negative scenarios in any functional spec
- How to identify vague language that can't be tested
- How to analyze User Stories and Acceptance Criteria for quality
- How to cross-reference document sections to find contradictions
📋 Module Lessons
Lesson 1 — Testing Specs: Where Are the Holes?
For every action described, ask: "What if it fails?" Find the untestable words hiding in plain sight.
Lesson 2 — User Stories and Acceptance Criteria
The "As a user I want..." formula. What makes a good AC — and how to spot a bad one before it becomes a bug.
Lesson 3 — Logical Traps and Contradictions
Section 2 says one thing. Section 7 says another. Here's how to find and report those conflicts professionally.
🔍 Module mantra: Every vague word in a spec is a future argument between developer and tester. Find them now. Resolve them in a comment. Save the argument for code review. 😄
