Comprehensive and Detailed Explanation:
In the Guidewire SurePath methodology, while there is a standard template for User Story Cards (typically containing standard fields like Description, Acceptance Criteria, and Assumptions), the methodology explicitly allows for customization to suit specific project needs or story types.
Adding a new tab for needs like Data Mapping (Option B)is the most common and valid example of this customization.
Context:ForIntegration User Stories, the standard "As a... I want..." text format is often insufficient to capture the technical detail required for data exchange.
The Customization:Analysts often add a dedicated "Data Mapping" tab (if using an Excel-based card) or a specific section (if using Jira/Rally) to define theSource-to-Target mapping. This table specifies exactly which field in the Guidewire Data Model (e.g., Claim.LossDate) maps to which field in the external system.
Benefit:This keeps the main "Story" tab clean and readable while providing the developers with the precise technical specifications they need in the same artifact, rather than forcing them to hunt for a separate spreadsheet.
Why other options are incorrect:
E. Duplicate requirement fields:This creates redundancy and maintenance issues (updating one tab but forgetting the other).
A. Add requirements to Mockup Tab:UI Mockups are visual aids; requirements (rules) should remain in the Acceptance Criteria section to ensure they are tested.
C. Add column for test results:TestResultsare execution artifacts generatedafterthe story is built; they belong in the Test Management tool (like Zephyr or ALM), not on the Requirements Card itself.
