What is the purpose of establishing traceability between acceptance criteria and test cases?

To assign test cases to specific developers

To ensure every acceptance criterion is covered by at least one test case

To document the test environment setup

To reduce the number of test cases needed

A team is working on a user story for a new payment method. The product owner has provided a high-level description, but the team needs to identify specific acceptance criteria. Which requirements engineering technique would be most effective for eliciting detailed acceptance criteria from the product owner?

Review the user story and write acceptance criteria based on the team's assumptions.

Wait for the product owner to provide the acceptance criteria at the end of the sprint.
