Use Cases Iteration 2 Readme
Terminology
ONA stands for "ODIN Network Activity". ONA files are basically logs of all communication traffic on the overlay (i.e. peer-to-peer) network. ONA files are generated by our preprocessor and consumed by our visualization GUI.
Why we only have two new first-level use cases
These are our coding tasks for this iteration:
- Implement the preprocessor (a small command-line tool).
- In the visualization GUI, color the graph edges based on the amount of traffic going across the communication links they represent. (Currently all the links are the same color, basically.)
- Extend our logging within ODIN so that search terms are recorded in the ONA file.
- Possibly implement an additional layout.
The third task will only result in the user seeing additional information on their screen - it will not change how they control the visualization GUI or other components of our application. The fourth task will only result in a new option in a pull-down menu for the user. The use of that menu was described in a use case for the previous iteration. So as far as we can tell, only the first two tasks lend themselves to use cases.
