Description: XYZ is a website to which qualified individuals are encouraged to contribute information about the latest technology trends. Contributors may write original articles or comment on articles written by others.
XYZ wishes to encourage high-quality contributions by a wide range of contributors. For this purpose, it plans to extend its current computer system to provide incentives that will reward participation. The incentives are of four categories:
(a) Points for certain types of activity.
(b) Badges given as recognition of specific accomplishments.
(c) Rewards based on the quality and extent of contribution.
(d) Bonus rewards derived from the other three categories.
You are asked to recommend a software development process for the proposed extension to the XYZ system.
Q. Provide stories that you will use to develop the above systems. (Research on how to create stories.)
Explanation / Answer
Website XYZ extension will involve the following components which can be implemented using an agile methodology involving incremental feature sets:-
1) Provide a mechanism for users to enter their contributions.
2) Create a backend data store for storing contributions.
3) Create a programmatic analysis module for analyzing contributions (e.g., using natural language processing or peer review mechanism) to evaluate newly added contributions.
4) Based on evaluation of contribution allocate points/rewards/badges to the contributors.
5) Store these allocated points/rewards/badges with user profile data.
