10 User Stories about Mobile Dating Application

-
           User stories are part of an agile approach that helps shift the focus from writing about requirements to talking about them. All agile user stories include a written sentence or two and, more importantly, a series of conversations about the desired functionality. Retrieved from https://www.mountaingoatsoftware.com/agile/user-stories; August 31, 2018.

 What is a user story?
           User stories are short, simple descriptions of a feature told from the perspective of the person who desires the new capability, usually a user or customer of the system. They typically follow a simple template:
           As a < type of user >, I want < some goal > so that < some reason >.

            User stories are often written on index cards or sticky notes, stored in a shoe box, and arranged on walls or tables to facilitate planning and discussion. As such, they strongly shift the focus from writing about features to discussing them.

            So much for the definitions and terms, let's take a look to my chosen Mobile Dating Application: Blued.

            Let's have a brief history about it. According to my research at Wikipedia.com, Blued is currently the largest gay social network app in the world. Launched in 2012, the free app now counts 40 million users with the majority still in its country of origin, China. The application is available on Android and iOS. Its features include verified profiles, live broadcasting, a timeline, and group conversations. The app is currently valued at $600 million.

           With my experience as a user of the app, I do really like using it because for me it does meet my expectations. Even from the reviews of the other users of the app says positive responses to the app too. Now, lets take a look about my 10 User Stories made from my chosen Dating App which was Blued:

  1. As a single bisexual Dad, I really do appreciates the app which allows users to view each other virtually.
  2. As a Queer user, I want to see specifically the person I wanted to see on my newsfeed and meet with him nearby.
  3. As a Transgender user, I wanted to see a full muscled body which I can talk to and share my feelings with.
  4. As a Top Fan of the application, I can do whatever I want with it! Love it!
  5. As a 19y/o Bi, I want to be understand by people like me that is why I used this app to express my true self.
  6. As a Gay user who was in a relationship with two bisexuals, I really do like hanging out with the persons I met using this app.
  7. As a 50 years old user(Gay), I really want to use this app till I grow older and older. The reason is that only in this app, I can tell anyone who I am and who I was before.
  8. As a Straight Boy, I really want to use this app, I dont even know the reason but I really do like hanging out with Gay People from other countries.
  9. As a Businessman and a Bisexual man(hehe), this app makes my stress go away.
  10. As a College Student user, I can determine who I really want to chat with based on the user status of each user.
           Anyone can write a user stories. In my case, these user stories were just made up by myself as a requirement for our assignment in IT411 - A Dating Mobile App User Stories. All user stories that I have written are all based from the users gender preference and geographic locations. All information's gathered in this blog were credited. All rights reserved.

Usability Testing and Heuristic Evaluation - Evaluation Usability Testing and Heuristic Evaluation was discussed by the reporters namely: Mr. Manigo, Ms.Sostituido, and Mr. Henry Flores. They then discussed the topics from Usability Testing to Heuristic Evaluation and they also gave some point of learning about on how these two differentiate with each other. Overall, they totally explained the pure context of the topic by simply explaining its definition of terms and on how and when to use them. They even gave some examples of software than uses these testing and evaluation upon implementation. Thanks to them we finally learned and absorbed the proper way of using and implementing these steps.

Verification and Validation, White Box and Black Box Testing - An Evaluation This Topic was discussed by Mr. Macarayo, Mr. Asilo and Ms. Morales and to evaluate their report, I can only say that they really did deliver the true context, definition and terms about their topic. They also did differentiate verification and validation and also white box testing and black box testing. The group really did a great job and they even got an applause from the class. Overall, their reporting was great and you can even say that they really practice on how to get everybody's attention and relay the true message and context of the topic. Kudos!
