Test Cases for Capture Agents
This document describes a set of simple test cases which can be used to test new capture agents. As a vendor, you might want to use these to test new devices before their release.
They are meant for a setup where the capture agent is firmly installed in a venue, it runs 24/7 and automatically captures scheduled lectures.
