Hi all,
My name is Ananya Iyer, I am a member of Blueprint @ Stevens Institute of Technology in Hoboken NJ working with Open Referral to work on the transformer project. I’ve been drafting some user stories for the Transformer, to handle CSV/JSON to HSDS 3.0 conversions. Since we are relatively new to the project, I wanted to ask for some input considering your experiences with the old transformer.
So far I have put together a small first draft spreadsheet with 10 user stories, covering CSV and JSON transformation, batch processing, error handling, API inputs, and configurable options. I have also drafted a couple Gherkin-style scenarios to see how these stories might look as acceptance tests. Before I expand the list further, I’d really appreciate your feedback:
-
Are the right user roles (publisher, commissioner, consumer, developer, data manager) represented?
-
Are there any edge cases that should be included but aren’t yet?
-
Should we emphasize batch processing, error handling, or API support more strongly?
-
Are there lessons from the Validator stories that should definitely be taken here?
To make this easier, I’ve also created a short feedback form.
Thanks so much for your time and guidance — I’m looking forward to learning from your expertise and making sure these stories are useful to everyone.
