UDS Application Dashboard

Madeline-UX commented 1 month ago

Current Problem

Currently, for the UDS prod environment, there is no UDS landing page that can be used to navigate the different tools available in the cluster (Gitlab and leapfrog). As a result, new users must know the direct URL for these applications in order to access them. This solution will provide a centralized location for users to discover, learn about, and access the available tools within the UDS platform, driving adoption and facilitating a more efficient workflow.

This is especially important for growth and demoing UDS capabilities.

User Story:

As a software factory developer or AI tool user, I want to access a dashboard that displays all available applications, So that I can easily discover, learn about, and access the tools I need.

Scenario: User views the Application Dashboard

Given I am a user of the UDS capabilities
When I log into the UDS platform (UDS.is)
Then I should be directed to the Application Dashboard as the landing page
Scenario: User explores available applications
Given I am on the Application Dashboard
When I view the list of available applications
Then I should see cards for each application displaying:
- Application name
- Version number
- A short description
- Links to access or learn more about the application

Scenario: Software Factory Developer discovers new tools

Given I am a software factory developer
When I browse the Application Dashboard
Then I should be able to discover new tools, such as the AI tool, that I may want to explore and integrate into my workflow

Scenario: User navigates to a specific application

Given I am on the Application Dashboard When I click on a link within an application card Then I should be directed to the appropriate resource, such as the application itself

Additional Context

The application's dashboard will be the first landing page for all new and returning users to our environment. This is an MVP and temporary solution as we plan to build out a more robust self-service flow in the future.
