Original Summary

The business analysts write the ACs with generic &quot;should match the approved mockups&quot;, we do the work, sometimes within the same sprint the designers edit the mockups subtlety (add a space, change a font size, change a few letters etc.) and then when the work is being tested, a defect always comes up. Sometimes this is months later and randomly we will have a regression in many spots. Normally it isn&#x27;t that bad &amp; only noticeable differences between the mockups got reported, however, recently the design team has started reporting defects related to pixel differences in spacing... I&#x27;ve asked the business analysts to include a picture of the mockup in the ticket to avoid these problems &amp; the design team threw a fit saying it&#x27;s better to use their mockup in live figma because it&#x27;s more up to date.... I have caught the design team doing this &amp; had a sc of my own when the tester reported a defect &amp; the designers tried to play it off like we were both confused when confronted.<p>I have two issues with this... Firstly, can they really call it a defect if the spacing size differs slightly between the mockup and the actual page but the style is identical ? If it is being used consistently, I don&#x27;t see how its a defect. The ACs don&#x27;t say that it should be to the pixel of the mockup, but it should look like &amp; follow the mockup&#x27;s design... There is no ACs specifically calling out the margins and padding between elements to the pixel, so adding a defect seems ridiculous. Secondly, and maybe worse... using a live figma board to base the ACs off allows the designers to escape accountability. Any time the designers make a mistake, they can just edit the figma &amp; their mistake turns into the developers mistake adding way more points to stories than would have been if they actually paid attention to the designs. It&#x27;s so ridiculous that they can change the design mid sprint or sprints later &amp; then call the closed out &amp; completed work a defect, but when their design isn&#x27;t followed by to the pixel, they have the audacity to open a defect. I&#x27;m talking they go into the HTML and then use that as a bases for a defect, if you looked at the mockup it would be identical!<p>Thoughts?
