User Stories

User Stories Overview

For the system FridgeToPlate, the User stories would be from the perspective of the end-user.

The end-user in this regard would be the actor that will be using the application as per the business requirements. That is, for the purposes of generating a recipe from the food ingredients available within their inventory.

The end-user will use the application as such:

1. The user authenticates their identity using the Authentication subsystem depending on if they have already registered their details on the system (Login functionality) or if they are creating a new account (Signup functionality)

2. Upon successful authentication they will be granted access to the rest of the system. Wherein they would be able to edit their preferences and available ingredients using the Profile Management subsystem as well as the Recommendation management subsystem.

3. The user would also be able to get generic recommendations not based on their available ingredients. As well as use the Recommendation Management subsystem to perform a step-by-step process to generate a recipe based on their preferences as well as the available ingredients.

4. Upon the successful generation of a set of tailored recipes, the user can then click the recipe to start the process of preparing the recipe or save it to their profile to do so at a later time or share.

As per use case diagrams, the user stories would be as follows for each subsystem:
