RI-SCALE_D5.2 – Validation Plan for Use Case Scenarios

This deliverable presents the Validation Plan for the RI-SCALE Data Exploitation Platform (DEP). It defines the framework, methodology, and structure guiding the validation of both functional and non-functional requirements consolidated in D5.1. The plan establishes a clear link between the DEP development activities, the scientific and technical use cases, and the project’s Key Performance Indicators (KPIs). Validation is organised around twelve use case scenarios that represent the full range of operational and scientific contexts within RI-SCALE. Each scenario defines specific test cases and acceptance criteria to ensure measurable and transparent verification of the platform’s performance and interoperability. The deliverable also introduces the mechanisms for requirement-to-scenario mapping, traceability, and continuous update through Confluence and Jira, ensuring adaptability throughout the project lifecycle. This work provides the operational foundation for the validation cycles that will follow, leading to the reporting of results in D5.4 and D5.6.
