# Test Case description

This test case primarily demonstrates the capability of creating derived
parameters from gridded fields. Selected parameters will be displayed
during testing.

## Assumptions, Constraints and Preconditions {#assumptions-constraints-and-preconditions .Style-Heading-2Heading-2-MUOS-+-Times-New-Roman}

-   TO9 software has been installed successfully.

-   CAVE, EDEX and pgAdmin III are running.

-   An internet connection is available.

-   Live gridded data flow. Canned data can be substituted if the live
    data flow does not contain the data required to test specific
    implemented derived parameters.

-   Localization previously set.

-   Data decode, ingest, and storage validation accomplished during the
    Preliminary Delivery Test (PDT); results available in PDT report.

-   Verification of parameter accuracy conducted during software
    integration testing for derived parameters and again during PDT.

-   A random sample of derived parameters will be demonstrated.

## Recommended Hardware {#recommended-hardware .Style-Heading-2Heading-2-MUOS-+-Times-New-Roman}

See TO9 Software Test Plan, Section 2.2.

## Test Inputs {#test-inputs .Style-Heading-2Heading-2-MUOS-+-Times-New-Roman}

Section 4.0 below contains the test procedures for this test case.
Sections 2.2 -- 2.9 of the Software Test Plan contain general test
inputs applicable to all TO9 test cases.

## Test Outputs {#test-outputs .Style-Heading-2Heading-2-MUOS-+-Times-New-Roman}

The images and data will be displayed in CAVE.
