Już w czwartek odbędzie się kolejna edycja Cracow Grid Seminar. Tematem wykładu będzie: “From simple software test to the automated release production (using and extending ETICS)”, a wygłosi go Marian Żurek, pracownik CERN.

Providing the reliable and tested software packages in the grid world became a more and more challenging task. Especially the testing aspect became a corner stone of the good release, not to mention the compatibility and interoperability aspects. The testing (especially manual) activity consumes majority of the time of the certification and preproduction teams. Currently the missing bits are the automated test frameworks. The most simple static ones: unit, regression, coverage can be performed during the build process. The aim of my work is to propose the framework for the system test. In other words starring from the developers code pass all the way up to the certified and functioning software release. Testing: starting from the client-server interaction, scalability, DoS, etc. tests and finishing on the automated components deployment (installation and configuration) interoperating between. Another challenge are the test run in the administrator space as the majority of the software require root access for its installation and configuration together with private/public/isolated resource allocation. Solution based on the Condor/NMI toolkits and private development has been identified/implemented for such scenarios and will be presented.
