This report describes the methodology used to define the “validation scenarios”, accounting for the different potential use cases.
Given the large number of permutations of tools, use cases, and the set of minimum validation requirements, the actual number of validation scenarios will be reduced to a number that can be run during the life of the DTOceanPlus project but that are sufficient to fully demonstrate the functionality of the DTOceanPlus suite of tools. The selection process, based on a successive approximation approach, will lead to the cases that the potential users in the DTOceanPlus consortium have considered as the most relevant for the sector.
In Section 4 of the document, the selected validation scenarios will be described; the definition of these scenarios will be completed during the project to ensure that the most updated information is used.
