Intended audience

Koswat targets two types of users:

• Sandbox users. This target group are users acquianted with Python scripting. For them we envision two main interests when using the tool as a sandbox:
  • Extending its functionality, or correcting the existing one via pull-requests. This requires them to adhere to our Development Guidelines (not yet present) and to use the Koswat repository in Development mode.
  • Creating their own scripts. It is possible to use the full extent of Koswat features on custom scripts, of course under your own responsibility. In this case the user only requires to install the most convinient version of the package as a sandbox / endpoint.
• Single endpoint users. These users are only interested in running the tool via command line or other User Interfaces. For them, it is advised to install the tool as a sandbox / endpoint and to check the tool's endpoint usage.
