User stories are a useful input to developing the concept for a software product and specifying the features. Typically, the stories have a lead off description of the form "As a (kind of user) I want to (do something) to (achieve something)." The elaboration of the user stories describe what inputs are needed, what outputs are expected, and what computations are performed.
Candidate user stories
Topic | Author | Comments |
---|---|---|
Identify associated data sets | e.g. Find and download direct and dispersed images that overlap on the sky via an archive query | |
Geometric transformations | Outline all of the variants and what the use cases are (e.g. elaborate from Nor's presentation) | |
Astrometric registration | Align dithered observations | |
Simulations | Create a simulated 2D dispersed spectrum from a 1D spectrum and image morphology | |
Background subtraction | What are the different background components & approaches to estimating/subtracting for HST instruments? | |
Flatfielding | Russell Ryan | This can be subtle; the same approach can't be used in all circumstances. Maybe multiple user stories are needed? |
2D spectral extraction | Maybe multiple stories with different approaches to getting a 2D extracted dispersed spectrum? | |
Co-adding | Maybe several stories with different approaches to co-adding spectra taken at different orientations? | |
