Abstract
A system, method, and computer program product are provided for defining and utilizing minimal testable values for software project development and operations. In operation, a system identifies a software development project. The system defines an initial list of minimal testable values (MTVs) as part of a backlog definition stage associated with a project backlog corresponding to the software development project. The system links the MTVs to the project backlog. The system confirms the MTVs as part of a backlog confirmation stage associated with the software development project. Further, the system maintains the MTVs during a backlog grooming stage associated with the software development project. Moreover, the system certifies the MTVs after each delivery of software associated with the software development project.
