Define entry criteria as the conditions that must be

met before a project phase or task can be started.

Define exit criteria as the conditions that must be

Define entry and exit criteria met before a project phase or task can be considered
complete.

Make sure that entry and exit criteria are measurable

and achievable, with clear responsibilities and
timelines.

Create integration test cases using a combination of

unit tests and end-to-end test cases

Leverage automation testing tools such as Selenium

Identify and execute integration tests and Cucumber to create and execute integration
tests

Monitor the integration test environment closely for

any unexpected changes or issues, and take
appropriate action as needed

Functional requirement: clear GUI, secure

authentication, detailed verification process
Verify functional and non-functional requirements
Non-Functional requirement: fast response time,
compatibility with multiple browsers, scalability for
larger user base
