[USER-STORY] Create Data Stucture to Store Decisions and Their Priority

[jmaestas7]

User Story

Story

As a Developer
I want to create a data structure to store decisions by priority
so that decisions by priority can be stored in a way where higher-priority decisions are at the top.

Acceptance Criteria

• The method used should be able to store both the decision or intake the decision object and order them priority
• When the data structure is accessed every decision should have an attributed priority level.

Rules

• Every decision should have an associated priority level
• The object containing the decision with higher priorities are ordered in order from most to least

As discussed, the story appears to specify an implementation (data structure) rather than an objective (output needed). The acceptance criteria are then written from the perspective of the story's user.

The choice of how the objective is accomplished is best left up to the implementer. (Our TDD model will account for automated testing of the implementation.)

Consider what the stakeholder (developer) is trying to achieve rather than a specific way to achieve it. For example, producing output of a collection of things in a particular order does not require that those things be stored in that order. This is particularly true when different presentation orderings may be desired or the cost of rearranging items is high.
