Quality Gate & Definition of Ready

TestForge can enforce a Definition of Ready (DoR) on every user story, so tests are only generated once a story meets your team’s quality bar.

​

Configure the Definition of Ready

Project Admins configure the DoR from the Config tab of the QA Hub:

• Score threshold — the minimum INVEST LLM score a story must reach (0–100, default 70).
• Required criteria — mark any of the six INVEST criteria as required or optional.
• Enabled toggle — switch the gate off without losing your threshold and criteria settings.

The configuration is stored at project scope and inherits from an organisation-level default when no project configuration exists. Non-admins see it read-only.

​

How the gate behaves

The gate uses the INVEST LLM score — run an INVEST analysis first in the Product Owner panel.

• Level 1 — warning banner. After an INVEST analysis, when a story is below the threshold, a non-blocking banner appears in the Product Owner panel.
• Level 2 — generation blocked. When a story is non-compliant, the Generate button is disabled on both the manual and the automated test tabs. A tooltip shows the current score and the required threshold, and links to the Product Owner panel so the story can be improved first.

Without a prior INVEST analysis, generation remains available — there is no automatic blocking.

​

Required criteria

When an INVEST analysis is available, a required criterion that is weak or missing blocks generation even if the overall score is above the threshold.

​

Language

The gate and its messages follow the in-product UI language (English or French).
