US 03.03.01: Viewing Other Users' Profiles

Story

As a user, I want to view other users' profiles so that I can get to know them better, understand their interests, and potentially connect with them. This feature will enable users to explore and interact with each other, fostering a sense of community and social connection.

Requirements

Requirement 1: The system must allow users to search for and view other users' profiles by username or profile ID.
Requirement 2: Each user profile must display relevant information, including the user's name, profile picture, bio, interests, and any other relevant details.
Requirement 3: The system must enable users to view a list of users they are connected with, as well as users who have viewed their own profile.

Acceptance Criteria

Given a user is logged in and has a valid account, when they navigate to the "Users" page, then they should be able to view a list of all users, including their profile information.
Given a user is logged in and has a valid account, when they search for another user by username or profile ID, then they should be able to view the searched user's profile information.
Given a user is logged in and has a valid account, when they view another user's profile, then they should be able to see the user's profile picture, bio, interests, and any other relevant details.
Given a user is logged in and has a valid account, when they view their own profile, then they should be able to see a list of users they are connected with.
Given a user is logged in and has a valid account, when they view another user's profile, then they should be able to see a list of users who have viewed their own profile.

Design Considerations

When designing the user profile feature, we must consider the following factors:

User Experience: The user profile page should be easy to navigate and provide a clear overview of the user's information.
Data Security: We must ensure that sensitive user information is protected and only accessible to authorized users.
Scalability: The system should be able to handle a large number of users and profile views without compromising performance.
Customization: Users should be able to customize their profile information and appearance to suit their preferences.

Technical Requirements

To implement the user profile feature, we will need to:

Database Design: Design a database schema to store user profile information, including user IDs, names, profile pictures, bios, interests, and connections.
API Development: Develop RESTful APIs to handle user profile requests, including searching for users, viewing user profiles, and updating user information.
Frontend Development: Develop a user-friendly interface for users to view and interact with other user profiles.
Testing: Conduct thorough testing to ensure the feature works as expected and meets the acceptance criteria.

Implementation Plan

To implement the user profile feature, we will follow the following steps:

Database Design: Design a database schema to store user profile information.
API Development: Develop RESTful APIs to handle user profile requests.
Frontend Development: Develop a user-friendly interface for users to view and interact with other user profiles.
Testing: Conduct thorough testing to ensure the feature works as expected and meets the acceptance criteria.
Deployment: Deploy the feature to production and monitor its performance.

Risks and Assumptions

We assume that the following risks and assumptions will be mitigated:

Data Security: We will implement robust data security measures to protect sensitive user information.
Scalability: We will design the system to handle a large number of users and profile views without compromising performance.
Customization: We will provide users with options to customize their profile information and appearance.

Conclusion

The user profile feature is a critical component of our system, enabling users to connect with each other and build a sense of community. By following the design considerations, technical requirements, and implementation plan outlined above, we can ensure that the feature is developed and deployed successfully.
