As per conversation with Dr. Hindle on November 20:
Since we are using gift cards for our application, the item will not have a "Borrowed" state and does not have to be returned or available again. As a result, the "In-progress" trade state also does not apply since "a trade is considered current and in-progress when the item is borrowed" (US04.11.01). In other words, the "In-progress" state is only supposed to be applied when the trade has been accepted, traded, and waiting for the item to be returned. Since our items are not supposed to be returned, we will never be using this trade state.
The following user stories have been affected or changed:
-
US04.10.01: "As an owner, I can set a trade to complete when the borrower returns the item and the item is now available again".
- -The owner will be able to set the trade to complete once the trade is made. We will not have to worry about the items being returned.
-
US04.11.01: "As an owner or borrower, a trade is considered current and in-progress when the item is borrowed."
- -This user story does not apply since the item is never in a "borrowed" state.
-
US04.12.01: "As an owner or borrower, I should be able to browse in-progress trades, and complete trades."
- -The owner and borrower will be able to view completed trades, but in-progress trades will not exist.
TLDR: We have no "In-progress" trade state so don't worry about it or use it.
Our definitions of trade states:
-
Completed Trade - Trades that have been accepted and the items have been traded. These do not include declined trades.
-
Current Trade - Trades that are pending/offered or accepted but the items have yet to be traded.
-
Past Trade - Trades that have been accepted or declined.
In other words, the sequence for the trade states are as follows:
-
Current Trades:
-
Pending and Offered - Borrower offers a trade to the Owner. Borrower has a pending trade and Owner has an offered trade.
-
Accepted- If Owner accepts the trade, then Owner and Borrower will have an accepted trade.
-
Past Trades:
-
Declined - If Owner declines the trade, then Owner and Borrower will have a declined trade (the trade is still declined when the owner offers a counter trade).
-
Completed- If the Owner accepts the trade, and after Owner and Borrower trades their items, then the Owner can set the trade to complete. The Owner and Borrower will then have a completed trade. A trade is only considered complete when the owner accepts the trade AND the items are traded. A declined trade is NOT a completed trade.
