User Stories and Acceptance Tests

As an animal care manager

Active Passive Distinction

• I want video clips of my animal automatically sorted into active and passive segments so I don't need to either do it myself or hire someone else to do it for me.

  • Acceptance Test: Given a set of video clips, in post processing, classify each segment as either active or passive based on the presence and activity level of the animal.

Automatic Delivery

• I want to have the sorted footage of my animal automatically delivered to my computer so that I can quickly analyze my animal's well-being.

  • Acceptance Test: After capturing for a day, an internet-connected Intelligent Camera Trap can automatically upload sorted videos to a pre-determined location.

As a field ecologist

Terminator Grade Tracking

• I want to capture ecological events in detail at a location of interest so I can capture data at an individual animal level for behavioral studies.
  • Acceptance Test: Starting from sleep mode, the camera trap detects an animal with the PIR sensor, then exhibits terminator-style animal tracking.

Single Press Activation

• I want to press a single button or switch to activate the Intelligent Camera Trap so that I minimize the chance of user error in my field studies.
  • Acceptance Test: Without further instruction, we hand a UCSD student a piece of paper that says how to activate the camera trap (1 button presss) and he/she successfully activates the system.

As a developer

Remote Access

• I want to remote login to an Intelligent Camera Trap system connected to the internet so that I can update its firmware while it's in the field.
  • Acceptance Test: With the Intelligent Camera Trap connected to the internet, a developer can log in, update the firmware, then relaunch the tracking program without physically touching the camera trap.

Remote Retrieval

• I want to retrieve video footage from the Intelligent Camera Trap for post-processing while the system is connected to the internet in the field.
  • Acceptance Test: While the system runs, a developer can log in and download video files off the camera trap without physically touching the system.

Sandbox

• I want a functional version of the camera trap hardware to test my software on and demo for visitors and prospective team members.
