Can Include the full Soyle logo, some background or rings to enhance image, or a preview of the program, an options menu to set preferences for Welcome Screen (window size, language (future)), Create New Project, Open Project with their own tabs like in the image below.

Current Welcome Screen that seems a bit bare:

1. Hit the top right X on SS program.
2. Exit menu appears in a good place in the screen, but looks a bit awkward.

Expected Result: Something that looks a little nicer like this:

Acutal result:

Additional notes: Works right!

Requesting a feature in the Characters tab, an additional way to access through right clicking and it asking to Create New Character and Create New Arc.

1. Select "Create New Project" from the Welcome Screen
2. Input a project name.
3. Select a directory
4. Click the create project button.
5. Check the directory you selected.

Expected Result: A Folder or .Stry file would be created with the project name.

2. Delete character/character arc.

Expected Result: After pressing delete to be prompted by a dialogue box confirming the decision or offering to cancel.

Actual Result: Character or Character arc is immediately deleted.

Additional notes: with no ability to undo an action like this it's a costly mistake to accidentally delete characters or arcs.

1. Given that a new project is open.
2. Given that you've created two characters.
3. Given that you've created Arcs for both characters.
4. Right click both characters and open Base Story Structure and Character Comparison for both.

1. Assuming you have a character(s) in the Characters window.
2. Select character and see it highlighted in blue.
3. Click outside the character name to deselect it.

Ex result: The name is no long blue highlited.

Act res: Name stays highlighted.

Are there any limitations on names? Such as curse filters, or not being able to use non-Roman alphabet characters like %&$%?
What about name length? Or characters with the same name?
Can non-English characters be added, like Russian Cyrillic or the Spanish ñ?

1. Given that a project is open.
2. Given that you've tried to open a new project from the File menu.
3. Given that you've tried naming the New Project the same name as the 1st project and having it fail to open the New Project with same name.

Expected result: Text would wrap around the edges of the Description box.

Actual result: Line stretches on in one line without wrapping text.

Given two characters are created
Given the characters each have character arcs created

1. User deletes one character
2. User creates a new character
3. User creates a new Character arc for new character
4. User opens Character Comparison arc for new character
5. User clicks on input box for Moral Weakness

1. Given that a new project is open.
2. Click X on Characters tab.
3. Click File to see if windows cna be reopened.
4. Click View to see if windows can be reopened.

Expected result: The View tab would have the options to show the windows for Characters.

Actual result: It not there.

Ability to right click on character name in Characters tab and duplicate a character. This could be useful if their Character Arcs or profiles are similar and only a few things need tweaking.

E.g., Mary and Pippin in LOTR.

1. Given that a project is open
2. Given that the Characters, Locations, Base Story Structure, and Character Comparison tabs are open.
3. Uncheck the Characters tab in the Tools menu.
4. Uncheck the Locations tab in the Tools menu.
5. Close the Base Story Structure Tool or the Character Comparison tab.

Ex res: Base Story Structure and Character Comparison tabs close.

An enhacement where you can rename your project.

1. Assuming that you've created and named a character.
2. Rename character with a space.
3. Hit Enter.

Ex res: Error message saying "Blank names not allowed, dog."

Ac res: Name reverts back to original name.

The unlimited length of the Character name in the Character Comparison tab causes issues with the UI, as there is no scroll bar, all other UI elements in the CC tab are hidden.

1. Create character.
2. Create character arc.
3. Navigate to character comparison tab.

Expected result: For character comparison tab to open and fit within the tab workspace.

Actual result: Character comparison tab opens at full size and is cut off by the edge of the window.

Additional Notes: After further investigating this issue is true for all tabs, all tabs can be resized to be small enough sizes that all fields and buttons become hidden. The basic story structure tab defaults to being wide enough to show all options so it doesn't present the issue right away but if the work space were adjusted then it may load in cropped. This is a wider issue than defined by the title.

1. Given that two characters exist and both have character arcs.
2. Open character comparison tab.
3. Click add character button and select a second character.
4. Click promote button next to second character.

Expected Result: Not sure, thought this function didn't work.

Actual result: Second character will have the first character's arc added to their arc list below their own.

1. Given that a project is open.
2. Select File > New > Project
3. Enter a directory and title.

Expected result: New project opens in same window.

Actual result: New project opens in new window.

1. Start .bat file
2. Select Create New Project
3. Select Choose Directory and Select folder.
4. Maximize Soyle Stories window.

Expected result: To have the Random Hints window not take up half the screen. Maybe have it in a popup window that you can select "Always Show" or "Don't show this again."

Actual result: Random Hints takes up half the screen.

Are there any special options for non-human characters? Such as animorphs, mythical, etc, or would that all be doable with the normal features?

For example, would the story arch of an android or pinnochio in their quest for a valid valuable life be qualitatively different from a human pursuing the same goal? Or is it essentially the same? We can come back to this later.

1. Open .jar file from Desktop to open program.
2. Close program.
3. Re-open .jar file

Expected Result: Program would load up as usual.

Actual Result: Blank command prompt comes up.

Additional notes: By pressing Enter it sets off the command prompt to open the program as expected. Additionally, the command prompt is still visible on the desktop.

1. Start .bat file
2. Select “Create New Project”
3. Select “Choose Directory” and Select folder.
4. Maximize Soyle Stories window.
5. Select “Create a Character”

Expected result: A nice window with a good border.

Actual result: Window blends into the background and looks weird.

Not sure how I got this error, but it exists. I was just going around looking for the Desktop directory and selected it and got this error message.

1. Create new character arc.
2. Right click and open base story structure tab.
3. Fill in fields.
4. Close base story structure tab.
5. Reopen base story structure tab by right clicking on character arc.

Expected result: Fields should retain entries.

Actual Result: Fields are empty.

Additional notes: If you view the character comparison tab after filling in the fields, even if you reopen the base story structure tab and the fields are empty, they have still been transferred to the appropriate fields in the character comparison tab.

1. Create new project.
2. Click tools tab and uncheck characters.
3. Click tools tab and recheck characters.
4. Create new character.

Expected result: The new character should appear in the list.

Actual Result: Character list does not update.

Additional notes: When adding anything to the character list beyond this, creating new characters, creating new character arcs, or deleting arcs or characters will not update the character list and you cannot interact with it until the characters tool has been toggled on and off again through the tools tab.

Given that a User has had a project open
Given that the User has created characters with character arcs in previous project

1. User opens new project.
2. User creates new character.
3. User creates new character arc for new character.
4. User opens Character Comparison tool for new character.
5. User selects Add Character in the upper right.

Actual result: The window blinks and doesn't let me proceed.

1. Finish selecting depository and naming New Project. Hit Enter.
2. Program begins minimized.

Expected Result: Program would be full screen-ish.

Actual Result: It doesn't start fully expanded.

Additional notes: Make it big!

Say the story involves timelines or parallel dimensions. Will the writer be able to track arcs on different story lines within the bigger story? Like there's one story line where Character A and B become friends one day, and another story line intertwined where it's the same day but they don't become friends. How can this be organized for the user in the program?

Assuming two characters exist and one has a character arc where the other character is assigned to the antagonist/fake-ally antagonist/fake antagonist ally/ally.

1. Within the character comparison tool, navigate to character change tab.
2. Type into Opponent Attack on Hero's weakness field and press enter to complete the field.
3. Double click same field.

Expected result: inline edit with entry maintained.

Actual Result: Inline edit but entry is cleared.

Additional notes:
Also, the fields will not retain anything typed into them you don't press enter to complete the action. If you click outside while typing it will clear the field.

Given that a User has a project open
Given that the User has a character
Give that the character has an open Character Comparison tab

1. Given that a new project is open.
2. Given a new character has been created.
3. Create New Character Arc.
4. Right click art to open "Base Story Structure" OR "Character Comparison"

Expected result: These windows would take up much more space than the Characters tab.

Actual result: The window turns into split screen, where the Characters tab is far too wide compared to the Arc windows.

Additional notes: This is easily fixed by rescaling the windows but I think it should start what I wrote in Expected result.

1. Given that a new project is open.
2. Given a new character has been created.
3. Given that you've created a Character Arc to that character.
4. Select Character Name so it's highlighted in blue.
5. Try to Select the arrow next to Character name to expand or collapse the Arc underneath it.

Expected result: It's an easy click on the arrow to expand/collapse Arcs.

Acutal result: I had to click a couple times to find the "sweet spot" for the arrow to work.

Additional notes: Working the arrows works fine when the character isn't selected and highlited in blue.

1. Given that a new project is open.
2. Click Tools.

Expected result: The Tools menu options would drop down.

Actual result: Nothing happens after Tools is clicked.

1. Create character/location.
2. Click inline to rename.
3. Click outside line.

1. Name a project without letters or numbers and just punctiation.

Ex res: Error message would return, "Don't be a wet brain!"

Ac res: Project is named punctation.

1. Create character.
2. Create new character arc.
3. Navigate to character comparison tool.
4. After selecting a field to type in, you cannot use the tab key to move to the next field.

Expected Result: Move from selected field to next field within character comparison tool.

Actual Result: Tabbing within a text field within the character comparison tool results in a tab space.

Additional notes: This tab issue is limited to just the character comparison tab, it does not present in any of the sub tabs, ie "moral problem" or "character change". I have noticed that so far these, the fields within comparisons, are the only fields that are variable in their sizing. Related?

1. Open new project
2. De-select Tools > Characters. Reselect it.
3. Select File > New > Character.

Ex Res: After inputting char name, they appear in list under Chars.

Expected result: For the reassignment to happen without issue.

Actual result: Java error.

1. Given that a new project is open.
2. Given a new character has been created.
3. Create New Character Arc.
4. Right click new Arc to reveal two windows to open: Base Story Structure, Character Comparison.

Expected result: These windows should automatically be open after Arc is created, or when Arc is selected.

Actual result: You create the arc and say "What now?" and then realize you have to right click the Character Arc to see the options.

Additional notes: Just a little confusing, didn't realize I'd have to right click the Arc right away, expecting some window to already have opened up after creating the Arc.

1. Start .bat file
2. Select Create New Project
3. Select Choose Directory and Select folder.

Suggested Choose Directory enhancements: Remember the last directory used, or Create new directory automatically in Soyle Productions program folder and Name it "My Stories," Make these settings adjustable.

Actual result: Choose Directory goes to My PC.

1. Given that a project is open.
2. Select File > New > Location
3. Enter a name and description.

8. Check to see if the first project still has "Create New Project" window.

Expected Result: The window prompt would be gone.

Actual Result: It's still there.

Additional notes: I'd want the New Project display to go away after creating my new project. Also it saves my decision instead of asking me again whether I'd like open a new project in This window or a New window, which I'd liek to be asked every time.

1. Given that a new project is open.
2. Select File.

Expected result: To see options for: File > Open > Project option in File.

Actual result: Only available is: File > New > Project.
