User Stories

We started by identifying various scenarios that can be satisfied with a pure OSGi container. From these user stories, we were able to develop a "vision" for Techne. Here is a summary of scenarios that were discussed:

Peter the Developer user story
Peter has completed his plug-in and now he wants to perform a series of integrated tests with a plug-in that another developer, Sally, has recently developed. He finds it a snap with the new Techne container to load Sally's plug-in and merge it with his own to start testing even without actually communicating with Sally who works at a remote site. More

Jeff the Reluctant Administrator user story
Since his company does not have a permanent DP department, Jeff finds himself forced to perform the role of a system administrator who has to manage the company's wide-area network storage system. Fortunately, storage equipment provided by a favored vendor had been bundled with management software built on top of Techne. Read how Jeff was able to overcome his anxiety and even improved his department's performance despite the seemingly extra burden imposed on him and his overly-stretched staff. More

Rapid Prototyping Eclipse user story

As such, it could be possible to change the implementation of certain IDE-functionality and update the behaviour right inside the eclipse inside without the need of separated sandbox-instances.More
