Test data requirements

From Intamap

This page gives the functional and non-functional requirements for the test data as a simple list of what the data should cover.

Some terms:

  • background map: some vector mapping that can define the content, e.g. roads, rivers, coast, ....
  • observations: the measurements obtained by a sensor at a given location.


Data requirements - things we want to test in our data sets

  • A typical EURDEP routine real data case
  • A natural, but more atypical EURDEP real data case

Issues we think it is important the test data should address

  • non-stationarity in space
  • the presence of outliers, both real (caused by exceptional event) and artificial (caused by a system failure).
  • differing error characteristics (which are known) on different sensors
  • differing sensor functions for observing the same state variable
  • network heterogeneity
  • change of observation support
