¶ How to Generate Code from User Stories
¶
Step 1: Ensure that DevBricks has been onboarded into your Azure DevOps project.
Find the onboarding process, here.
¶
Step 2: Create a new user story in your project's Sprint menu.
¶
Step 3: Enter your user story.
If you can not see the DevBricks plugin there may have been issues with onboarding, please refer to step 1.
¶
Step 4: Select "Health check."
Keep in mind that each user story has a limit of 5 health checks, so it's advisable to do some preliminary drafting to avoid exhausting them too quickly.
Note: Health check progress can be seen from the ”DevBricks” Tab within your user story.
¶ Step 5: Improve your user story based on the recommendations provided.
¶
Step 6: Run the Health Check again.
We recommend repeating this process until your user story achieves a health rating of 80+.
By reaching this rating DevBricks will have the best opportunity to develop high-quality code that aligns with your business needs.
¶ Step 7: Customise the Blueprint to Suit Your Requirements
Select the "DevBricks" tab located on the right side of your user story page.
Within this tab, you have the option to enable or disable relevant technologies. Disabled technologies will be presented as grey.
Please note that this page only allows you to enable or disable the Tech Bricks and foundation that was previously defined in the Project settings.

¶ Step 8: Select Build Code
Return to the previous tab and select "Build the code" within your DevBricks plugin.
¶ Step 9: Select the Repository and Branch to deposit the code into before selecting the "Generate" button.
Just like your development team, DevBricks needs to branch off from your development branch to generate code. This will typically be a branch name development or simply named branches.
¶
¶
Step 10: Submit the user story for code generation.
Code generation progress can be seen from the ”DevBricks” Tab within your user story.
Note: After DevBricks has finalised its code generation it will create a new Branch in your Repo’s page under the same title as your chosen user story.
¶ Step 11: Review the Generated Code
Code generation progress can be seen from the ”DevBricks Tab" within your user story. This process will seamlessly continue in the background allowing you to continue with other tasks while it generates.
Note: After DevBricks has finalised its code generation it will create a new Branch in your code Repository page under page under the same title as your chosen user story. y a link to this can also be found in the DevBricks tab.
