How to create Unit Tests from Backlogs

In software development, unit tests are used intensively in the quality assurance process. However, the unit tests are often only created when a functionality is programmed and are not directly related to the backlog, which describes the requirements to be implemented. This article presents how the transfer of content from a backlog in unit tests can be automated. The basis for the transfer are the tasks of the backlog. Conventions are proposed for these, which must be observed so that the information of a task can be used to generate a unit test class. A structure for the unit test classes based on information from the backlog is also proposed. A prototype that performs the automated transfer is presented. This transfers the tasks of a sprint backlog to a tool that supports Scrum
