Frequently Asked Questions

What is the INVEST framework for user stories?

INVEST ensures high-quality agile user stories that are Independent, Negotiable, Valuable, Estimable, Small, and Testable, formulated as: "As a [role], I want [feature], So that [business benefit]".

What are Given-When-Then (Gherkin) acceptance criteria?

Gherkin is a Behavior-Driven Development (BDD) syntax specifying preconditions (Given), triggers/actions (When), and expected outcomes (Then) to eliminate ambiguity between developers and QA engineers.

Can I copy stories directly into Jira, Linear, or GitHub Issues?

Yes. The generator produces clean Markdown issue descriptions including story statements, Gherkin scenarios, story points, and a Definition of Done (DoD) checklist ready to paste into your ticket tracker.
