Appendix E: Validation Plan Sample Cases

Case Number Case Name Case Description Need Number Need Category
1 Control Access to the CCTV System This validation case will validate the user needs associated with controlling user access to the CCTV System in accordance with the Configure CCTV System operational scenario. The capabilities of the CCTV System Manager accessing the CCTV System in order to provide the various CCTV System user roles with their proper CCTV System access will be validated. In addition, the capability for the CCTV System Manager to set External System access will be validated. The CCTV System user access capabilities will be validated in accordance with their corresponding user needs. For the most part, no additional hardware or software besides the CCTV System itself is envisioned to accomplish this validation case; however, the interfacing External Systems will be needed to validate the External Systems user needs. 4.1 Control Access to CCTV System
2 Configure CCTV System This validation case will validate the user needs associated with configuring the CCTV system in accordance with the Configure CCTV System operational scenario. The System Manager's user needs of configuring user permissions as well as allowing a set number of users with CCTV access with arbitration of user requests for access will be validated. External video stream access needs by External Systems will also be validated. 4.2 Configure CCTV System
3 Check for Camera in Coverage Area This validation case will validate the user need associated with checking for a camera in the coverage area in accordance with the Check for Camera in Coverage Area operational scenario. The CCTV System User enters a location of interest and the CCTV System returns cameras in the vicinity. 4.3 Check for Camera in Coverage Area
4 CCTV Monitoring This validation case will validate the user needs associated with CCTV monitoring in accordance with the CCTV Monitoring operational scenario. The CCTV System User's needs of selecting camera feeds to display on video monitors, request for camera control, control of the camera being viewed, reassignment of camera control to a different user and the configuration of a specified number of camera presets will be validated. 4.4 CCTV Monitoring
5 Provide CCTV System Video This validation case will validate the user needs associated with providing CCTV system video in accordance with the Provide CCTV System Video operational scenario. The CCTV System User's capabilities to create and provide different types of video feeds and images will be validated as well as directing incoming external video feeds to the CCTV System. 4.5 Provide CCTV System Video
6 Verify Non-CCTV Field Device Status using CCTV This validation case will validate the user needs associated with using the CCTV System to verify non-CCTV field device status in accordance with the Verify Non-CCTV Field Device Status using CCTV operational scenario. The ability of the CCTV System User to select and verify various types of field device operation will be validated. 4.6 Verify Non-CCTV Field Device Status using CCTV
7 Relinquish CCTV Monitoring This validation case will validate the user needs associated with relinquishing the monitoring of the CCTV cameras in accordance with the CCTV Monitoring operational scenario. The ability of the CCTV System User to manually and automatically relinquish camera control and monitoring will be validated. 4.7 Relinquishing CCTV Camera Control
8 CCTV Automatic Detection This validation case will validate the user needs associated with automatic detection by the CCTV System in accordance with the CCTV Automatic Detection operational scenario. The ability of the CCTV System User to automatically receive identification and notification of incidents and wrong-way vehicles as well as automatic positioning of the camera(s) making the identification will be validated. 4.8 CCTV Automatic Detection [Model document users must provide the expansion, and related requirements.]
9 Remote Control of a CCTV Device This validation case will validate the user needs associated with remote control of a CCTV device in accordance with the Remote Control of a CCTV Device operational scenario. In accordance with the CCTV System video sharing and control policies, the ability of an External System to request changes to a CCTV device including CCTV camera control and monitoring will be validated. 4.9 Remote Control of a CCTV Device
10 CCTV System Logging This validation case will validate the user needs associated with CCTV System logging in accordance with the Logging CCTV System Data operational scenario. The ability of the CCTV System Maintainer to specify, access and review CCTV System log(s) will be validated. 4.10 CCTV System Logging
11 Recorded Video This validation case will validate the user needs associated with CCTV System recorded video in accordance with the Recorded Video operational scenario. The ability of the CCTV System User to record video, playback the video and distribute recorded video will be validated. In addition, validation of the CCTV System User's ability to specify video recording retention rules and video recording deletion and logging will be covered by this validation case. 4.11 Recorded Video
12 CCTV Camera Characteristics This validation case will validate the user needs associated with the CCTV camera characteristics in accordance with the CCTV Monitoring operational scenario. The ability of the CCTV System User to view images in clear and adverse conditions will be validated. In addition, validation of the ability of the CCTV System User to enter and store CCTV System information including CCTV System and CCTV camera characteristics will be covered by this validation case. 4.12 CCTV Camera Characteristics
13 CCTV Camera Siting and Viewing This validation case will validate the user needs associated with the CCTV camera siting and viewing in accordance with the CCTV Monitoring operational scenario. Validation of the ability of the CCTV System User to monitor and view transportation facilities (e.g., road lanes, intersections, etc.) and various types of events over the entire extent of the CCTV System will be covered by this validation case. 4.13 CCTV Camera Siting and Viewing
14 CCTV System Maintenance This validation case will validate the user needs associated with CCTV System maintenance in accordance with the CCTV System Maintenance operational scenario. This validation case has two primary users: the CCTV System Maintainer and the CCTV System User. The CCTV System Maintainer needs to validate that the CCTV System allows for maintenance needs to service, test, diagnose and fix the CCTV System. The CCTV System User needs to validate that the CCTV System has durable and reliable equipment. 4.14 CCTV System Maintenance
15 Interfaces This validation case will validate the user needs associated with CCTV System interfaces in accordance with the Remote Control of a CCTV Device operational scenario. This validation case has three primary users: the CCTV System Designer, the CCTV System Maintainer and the CCTV System User. The CCTV System User needs to validate that the CCTV System supports their needs regarding using cameras from different manufacturers as well as access External Systems to configure, control and/or direct the display of video from the External System. The CCTV System Maintainer needs to validate that the CCTV System supports their need of replacing cameras from different manufacturers. The CCTV System Designer needs to validate that the CCTV System allows different compatible interfaces and cameras. 4.15 Interfaces
