You are writing a the blue light special app When people are running the app and connected to the store Wifi, The store can activate a “blue light special” deal message that is active for a pre- determined amount of time The deal can be active for a maximum of 15 minutes The deal message is short - 500 characters
a story for this application 14 Story As a store advertising manager I want to send out a blue light special to customers connected to the store wifi So they are encouraged to use the store wifi Acceptance criteria Special messages are <= 500 characters Messages only go to connected customers Messages are active a maximum of 15 minutes Title Body As a < role > I want to < do something > So that < I get business value > Acceptance criteria
is connected to the wifi they will not receive a blue light message Write some concrete examples Customer Joe is connected to the store wifi When a blue light special with the message “dog food 15% off” is sent Joe will see the message “dog food 15% off” Here’s an example Here’s a concrete example
isn’t connected to the wifi they will not receive a blue light message Write some concrete examples Customer Joe is not connected to the store wifi When a blue light special with the message “dog food 15% off” is sent Joe will not see the message Here’s an example Here’s a concrete example
becomes connected to the wifi, the customer will receive messages as long as they were sent no more than 15 seconds before the connection occurred Write some concrete examples A blue light special with the message “dog food 15% off” is sent Customer Joe becomes connected to the store wifi Then Joe will see (ask the PO) Here’s rule Here’s a concrete example
becomes disconnected to the wifi while receiving a message the message will not be displayed Write some concrete examples A blue light special with the message “dog food 15% off” is sent Customer Joe becomes disconnected from the wifi while receiving the message Then Joe will see (ask the PO) Here’s rule Here’s a concrete example
consider Does this work with all mobile? Can the message notification be turned off? What if the characters are > 200? What if 2 messages are active and a customer connects?
appropriate Inductive reasoning moves from specific instances into a generalized conclusion Deductive reasoning moves from generalized principles that are known to be true to a true and specific conclusion. Inductive reasoning is good for drawing conclusions that are not explicitly stated
