Answer / sankumarsingh

Entry and Exit criteria is completely task dependent. Means, it depends on what task you need to do or you have to perform.

In general, entry criteria is a set of conditions that permits a task to perform, or in absence of any among these condition will not allow to perform that task is taken as the Entry Criteria of that task.
E.g. If you have to write Testcases, what you will required to do that,
1. The requirement doc,
2. Complete understanding of the flow,
3. The testcase format/Tool that is used in your organization
and many more
Simillarly if you need to execute TCs the Entry criteria should be
1. The test cases,
2. Environment should be set
3. Test data should be available
4. Availability of application etc....

The Exit criteria is a set of conditions based on which you can say this particular task is finished.
E.g. System Testing
1. The requirement should be completely covered.
2. The Sev2 and above issues must be fixed.
3. The documentations must be done for that application and so on...
