Current situation or problem:

As a cataloger, I need the ability to take certain actions on a resource description in order to complete work on the description and keep the database current. Specifically, I need the ability to 

• Save work on a resource description

• Close out a resource description

• Delete a resource description

• Publish a resource description

In scope

• Saving edits done on a resource description

  • Automatic save, or

  • Manual save

• Deleting a resource description entirely from the database

Out of scope

• Publishing a resource description into production

• Saving multiple versions of a resource description

• Validation rules for a resource description

• Deleting edges/dependencies

Use case(s)

1. Saving - automatic

• Given that a cataloger has a resource description open in edit mode

• Throughout the session the resource description will be automatically saved every 60 seconds

• Changes made to the resource description will be updated in the database with each automatic save action

• And a confirmation status is generated

2. Saving - manual

• Given scenario 1

• When a cataloger manually saves a resource description

• Then the resource description is updated in the database at that time, separate from the automatic save

• And a confirmation status is generated

3. Saving - failure

• Given scenario 1 above

• When a save action is sent to the database

• And the action fails

• And the system generates an error status for the failed save action

4. Close

• Given scenario 1

• And the cataloger elects to close the resource description

• Then the resource description is no longer in edit mode

• And the resource description is saved, as appropriate, in the database

5. Delete

• Given scenario 1

• And the cataloger elects to delete the resource description

• Then resource description is deleted from the database

• And a confirmation status is created

6. Delete - failure

• Given scenario 5

• And the delete action fails

• And the system generates an error status for the failed delete action
