HAWC/DCS Verification Describe observing sequence for a test target Generate simulated data Process through HAWC and DCS pipelines Generate archive product Compare results with known test target

AIRES/DCS Verification AIRES has an established test plan AIRES is providing algorithms and tests to DCS Implement tests in DCS environment Ensure that both approaches yield same result

DCS Extensibility Tests The South Pole experiment resembles FORCAST and FLITECAM We plan to reuse existing modules from the South Pole experiment and compare results with FSI team algorithms This tests the applicability of the DCS methods to future instruments

DCS/MCS Interface Tests When MCS prototype is available, DCS will subscribe to it and test interfaces

Compliance with GI Needs Astronomers write scenarios Mark Morris authored prototypes, distributed at Conceptual Design Review DCS team converts scenarios to tasks Team is knowledgeable about astronomy and software development Team presents verification review Verify compliance

DCS Design Verification through Use Case Analysis Narrative Scenario Use Cases DCS Design

Verification Plan Need a method to verify that DCS has met its requirements “Use Case Analysis” provides such a method By constructing use case scenarios we can test the DCS & verify that it has met its requirements
