Title :

Bootcamp Group Project 2

Project :

Studdy Buddy

Description :

• This is a group project created using Handlebars, CSS, Javascript, Bootstrap, Express, Handlebars, Sequelize, and Bcrypt
• Studdy Buddy is an application that pairs users looking to partner with a peer to work through a selected course topic, based on how they match up via a self ranking system.

Working :

• "Create Account" field stores users credentials and redirects to the assessment page
• "Login to Profile" field redirects user to their user profile
• "Update Assessments" field stores users entered scores (both initial and updated) into a database
• Database compares scores and matches user who is seeking a buddy (when "Find a Buddy" button is selected) to user who is waiting to help a buddy (when "Help a Buddy" button is selected) and is scored above the user who is seeking a buddy
• Chat box deploys between the paired users once a match is made
• "Logout" button allows user to leave the chat conversation and/or to logout of the application

Usage :

• Open the initial interface deployed through Heroku
• The user can then create an account in the login page by completing the username and password fields
• They'll complete a self-assessment, ranking their confidence level among the listed course topics
• They'll click "find a buddy" to be paired with a peer who is ranked above them in the selected topic, to provide sufficient thought-partnering support
• They can click "help a buddy" to be put in a queue that will match them with someone who is looking for a buddy
• When there is a match they will be automatically moved into a chat conversation to start working with their partner
• They can click "logout" once they would like to leave the conversation
• The user can also update their assessment scores as often as they advance through any listed course topic, using the "update assessment" button
• They can also log back in with their user credentials when they would like to open a new buddy search or chat session

User Story :

As a student, I want to be paired with a study partner to work together on a topic that I am struggling with and they can provide support in

Acceptance Criteria :

• Given I open the Studdy Buddy application, then I am prompted to create a user account
• When I provide my credentials
• Then I am taken to a topic assessment page
• When I select my topic scores
• Then those scores are stored in a database and compared to other users' scores
• When I select "find a buddy"
• Then the database pairs me with a partner that is scored above me in the selected topic and I am automatically moved into a chat conversation with my matched partner
• When I have received the support I needed
• Then I can leave the conversation
• When I want to return to a session
• Then I can log back in to my account where my scores are stored
• When I have advanced in a particular topic
• Then I can update my scores
• When I want to lend support to somebody else
• Then I can click "help a buddy" to be in queue to help the next person in need of study support
