The purpose of the TS is as follows :

• to provide a preliminary design of the system, including :
  • an overview of the system architecture and data workflow within the system : description of the overall system and breakdown into subsystems and their interfaces to each other, precise description of each subsystem’s role and services
  • the execution workflow : description of the sequence of operations performed when ingesting data into felyx or extracting miniProds and metrics, including an overview of the possible parallelism in the workflow management
  • a static design view of the system, including the main software elements and the underlying data model for all felyx persistent data (configuration information,...)
  • a description of the user and administration web interface’s views and how they relate to each other
  • elements of analysis of the performances and technical approach to themanagement of the system scalability
• to provide elements justifying the design and implementation choices
  
  • implementation choices such as programming language, programming standards, management of source code, protocol for web services, client/server communication
  • reused software elements and on-the-shelf software libraries
• to deliver an overview of the validation plan, including :
  • validation and test procedures for all inputs datasets and all felyx functions
  • planification of testing campaigns, both internal and external, for instance involving people from the user reference group

It is completed by :

• the interface control document (ICD) describing the external interfaces of felyx
• the list of products that will be served by felyx in its demonstration phase (from February 2014), in the Data Access Requirements Document (DARD) and its attached product sheet.
