[LStCyr]

User Story

Essential components

• [ ] Title describes the story
• [ ] Stakeholder type is identified
• [ ] Outcome is described
• [ ] Rationale is explicit
• [ ] Acceptance criteria are verifiable and from the perspective of the stakeholder

Story

As a user I want a guided user interface so that I can create a project with multiple classes and have it compile and run without errors

Acceptance Criteria

(Rules or scenarios are acceptable formats.)

• Tutorials should be available at the opening of BlueJ
• The tutorials and guides should begin by covering the editor basics such as navigating, creating a new class, and how the inheritance arrow works
• Display should look professional. Not busy or overstimulating for a new student

Scenario 1

Given a student who has never written a java program when correctly following the steps presented in the tutorials then they can build their first "Hello World" in less than a half an hour.

Given a student who has never written a java program when incorrectly following the tutorial's instructions then they are told how to correct their mistake and are given the opportunity to try and submit their code until they get it right.

Supporting Information

There are a lot of products that provide tutorials for new programmers, but the best one's I have utilized have been integrated with the IDE itself. The goal for this ticket is to provide a new programmer with a high quality guide that improves the quality of their understanding of the interface of an IDE.

This project concerns development of a quality tools extension for BlueJ, thus this user story is not relevant. In addition, the BlueJ product includes an interactive tutorial, so the user story is already satisfied.
