Creating a dynamic ui in a chat window

Building a ui in a chat

The situation

They were given a task to create a dynamic ui and display it in a chat window, with the goal of showing valuable information. The task had to be completed within a short time frame. They had to decide how to approach the task and what to prioritize. The ui had to be functional and display the right information.

What they weighed

  • Act on the message and verify the result

    Chosen
  • Keep it as context when no action is called for

What they decided

Act on the message and verify the result

Why

They chose to act on the message because a similar issue had been fixed before, and they wanted to verify the result. The previous issue was a tour bug that was reproduced live and fixed at its two causes. A test and a live walker were used to keep it fixed. They applied the same approach to the new task.

The first step

Finish the full live walk of every tour and fix any step it fails

How they would know it worked

Scripts would report the number of failed steps

How it turned out

Not known yet. The result is added here when it comes in.
