13. Example
• As an administrator, I can set the password
expiration period so that users are forced to
change their passwords periodically.
• As an administrator, I can set the password
strength characteristics so that users are
required to create difficult-to-hack passwords.

14. Acceptance Criteria

15. Example for Acceptance Criteria
As a consumer, I always see current energy pricing reflected
on my portal and on-premise devices so that I know that my
energy usage costs are accurate and reflect any utility pricing
changes.
• Conditions of Satisfaction
1. Verify the current pricing is always used and the calculated
numbers are displayed correctly on the portal and other on-
premise devices (see attachment for formats).
2. Verify the pricing and the calculated numbers are updated
correctly when the price changes.
3. Verify the “current price” field itself is updated according the
scheduled time.
4. Verify the info/error messages when there is a fault in the
pricing (see approved error messages attached).
