| Description |
| </h3> |
| <p> |
| One of the rights in the customer bill of rights tells the customer he will be able to see progress in the form of a |
| working system that passes repeatable tests that he specifies. These tests are what we call the Customer Tests. The |
| customer specifies one or more Customer Tests for each user story in the system, describing in detail how each story is |
| expected to work. Because the tests are put into executable form and are fully automated, they tell programmers what |
| needs to be done in a unambiguous way (tests pass or fail) and allow the customer to feel confident that the system is |
| meeting his needs. |
| </p> |
