Account Creation

[MJaojoco]

1. User Story

• As an anonymous user, I want to create an account so that my information is saved and I don't need to repeatedly provide the same information.

2. Which biz goal are you targeting and why?

• The biz goal that we are targeting for this feature is adoption. By allowing our users to create accounts, users feel more secure about their information and are more willing to use our service.

3. Use Case Template

• Name: Account Creation
• Description: Create a personal account that will save information
• Preconditions: The anonymous user has navigated to the log in/sign up page
• Postconditions: The user will have an account

• Basic Course of Action: Anonymous user gets sent to the homepage where they learn more about LyncUp. They navigate to the sign up screen and enter a unique username and email, choosing a password to tie to the account.

  • Happy path: the account is successfully created and the user is told to enter their credentials to log in.

  • Alternate paths: the username or email is taken, or the passwords did not match, so the user must fill out the form once more to create an account.

  Once the account has been created, the user may log in to access the rest of our website's features

  4. Acceptance Testing

• Verify that the anonymous user can access the home page.
• Verify that the anonymous user can navigate to the login/register pages.
• Verify that the user can fill out a form to create an account, with each form field taking input from user.
• Verify that the form certifies the information given before creating an account.
• Verify that a certified form is used to create an account and the credentials can be used to log in to a new account.
• Verify that the user can now log out.

Happy Path (Updated)

1. An anonymous user visits LyncUp and is presented with the Home page

2. The anonymous user is curious and reads the About page where they find out how to create an account

3. The anonymous clicks 'Register' and is presented with a page titled 'Join Today;

4. The anonymous user inputs a username, email, and a strong password

5. The user clicks 'Sign Up' and is presented with a message that says "Account created for "Username": you can now sign in

6. The now-registered-user clicks 'Login'

7. The registered-user inputs their username and password and clicks 'Login'

8. The user is shown a new Home page that displays an empty calendar

Alternative Paths (Updated)

1. An anonymous user visits LyncUp and is presented with the Home page

2. The anonymous user is curious and reads the About page where they find out how to create an account

3. The anonymous clicks 'Register' and is presented with a page titled 'Join Today;

4. The anonymous user inputs a username, email, and a weak password

5. The anonymous user clicks 'Sign Up' and is presented with an error message that states why the password is weak (too short, too common, entirely numeric)

6. The still-anonymous user reinputs a new STRONG password and clicks 'Sign Up'

7. The user now has an account registered with LyncUp
