The user will be able to try out one of a number of tools spanning a range of scientific domains and general data usage tasks.  Upon signing up for an account the user will be able to explore the tools catalog to see what transformation tools are available as well as what each is capable of doing.  These tools will be deployed under the elasticity module so that a user can try the tool via one of a number of possible client interfaces.  The user should come away with a sense of the breadth of data currently and potentially supported over time, the flexibility of the system, the potential for contributing tools of their own, and the types of tools that would fit as part of the service.

The user will explore Brown Dog for the first time through BDFiddle.  As a user friendly web interface the user will be able to upload data, try out transformations, and discover alternative ways to utilize Brown Dog within other programming languages.  Specifically, the user will be able to:

• upload a file or point to file URL
• select an output OR a specific tool for a transformation
• get the output of the transformation
• get a code snippet that can be pasted and executed in Matlab, R, and Python
• launch a Jupyter notebook to try the python code
• download the needed libraries for Matlab, R, and Python
