Euclid SGS Scientific Challenge 2 Test Plan

Abstract

This Software Test Plan describes the system being tested, summarizing the system context and decomposition. It sets out the test and verification approach for the system and describes constraints and limitations in the testing to be performed. The STP describes the unit and integration tests for the component modules of the system and describes the validation tests to be performed on the fully integrated system. A scientific challenge should ensure that the main issues of scientific requirements are properly anticipated and addressed through the different challenges. The main objective of Scientific Challenge #2 (SC2) is to perform the following activities: design and develop the first prototypes of the VIS, NIR and SIR Processing Functions (PFs); integrate them with the SGS Infrastructure components (Common Data Model tools, IAL, COORS) previously tested through the Infrastructure Challenge #6; deploy each PF through the CODEEN system; process the VIS and NISP raw frames simulated by the SIM PF and archived in the EAS. The products that are expected to be generated by the execution of the SC2 test cases are: VIS/NIR/SIR output data products which are consistent with the Data Model (detection of transients not needed, level Q not needed), i.e calibrated exposures, stacks, masks, catalogues (both computed and simulated), 2D spectra, 1D spectra. The catalogue sources format shall be homogeneous and consistent with the Euclid catalogue format. The SC2 Challenge is a Test Campaign run at SGS System Level; the SC2 is conducted according to the execution tests, test cases and test procedures defined in §11 of this document.
