User stories are a useful medium to represent requirements of an application. They usually follow a predefined format to represent a required functionality and/feature of an application. Those are prepared before application is developed and works as a source of reference through out the development process.

Definition of done is a popular phrase used to defined criteria of completion on application features or more specifically on items of work. Definition of done is a common concept mostly used in Scrum development teams. Every product backlog item is associated with completion criteria that defines when the item will be accepted as done/completed. Usually definition of done is decided together with product backlog items in the sprint planning meeting. Some quality attributes are reviewed to define the definitions of done. ISO 25010 is a good reference for quality attributes.

This project aims to create a tool that can read the user stories and can generate definition of done to meet ISO 25010 quality attributes.
