Testing Image Accuracy & Aquisition View images as they are aquired Verify images against images that areknown to be accurate Set up a log that logs when images arebeing downloaded 44. Testing Image Database Insertion Automate encoding into GEOTIFF format Verify images visually Log automated transfer of encoded imagesto database drive Log automated insertion into database Log removal of images on original box tokeep clutter down 45. Automated Transfer of Files 46. Automated Insertion Into Database 47. Testing Web Frontend Group testing of featureso Attempt to break Everything we have implemented Client testing of featureso Make sure they dont break anything accidentally Ensuring security of database connection 48. Testing Robustness of Backend Multiple connections Query for non-existing image Attempt to access restricted information onthe server 49. Summary Automates image aquisition, processing,and insertion into database The backend will automatically makedatabase images accessible from the webfrontend The web frontend will overlay the imageson a (google) map and allow meta-data tobe viewed
