Sites will require 100% dedicated staff and resources. Initial roll-out to NIKHEF(?), PIC(?), CNAF(?), CERN Second phase roll-out to remaining sites. Physical Location of the Test Beds Release of integration build (Friday) JRA1 Testing test bed Production service Certification test bed JRA1 Integration team Weekly releases + 1 week Pre-production service JRA1 Development test bed (gLite Prototype)

5. Enabling Grids for E-sciencE INFSO-RI-508833 ARDA Workshop: 7 March 2005 5 Organization of the Testing Effort Since mid February I have been co-ordinating the JRA1, SA1, NA4 and ARDA testing efforts. We are: The Test Group Daily morning meeting –status briefings from each group –Discussions on “hot” topics –minutes at http://egee-docs.web.cern.ch/egee-docs/list.php?dir=.\Testing\Meeting%20minutes\& http://egee-docs.web.cern.ch/egee-docs/list.php?dir=.\Testing\Meeting%20minutes\& Weekly status reports – http://egee-docs.web.cern.ch/egee-docs/list.php?dir=.\Testing\Testing%20Reports\& http://egee-docs.web.cern.ch/egee-docs/list.php?dir=.\Testing\Testing%20Reports\&

6. Enabling Grids for E-sciencE INFSO-RI-508833 ARDA Workshop: 7 March 2005 6 Goals, Priorities and Timelines (1) #1 Goal: To have a working version of gLite on the pre-production service by the end of March 2005! (mid April now looks more likely) –Pre-production sites need to be ready for this. –The pre-production service will then be used to compare gLite to LCG-2 and identify any areas where improvements need to be made to the gLite middleware. Current Activates within The Test Group 1)To port the current LCG-2 certification test suite to gLite (by 23 March) The test cases will be as close as possible to those in the LCG-2 certification test suite. JRA1, SA1 and NA4 are all contributing to this effort. 2)Continue testing on the JRA1 test bed and Certification. 3)Writing functionality tests for VOMS and R-GMA. Tests are being written by INFN and RAL respectively. 4)To port the Site Functional Test suite to work with gLite.

8. Enabling Grids for E-sciencE INFSO-RI-508833 ARDA Workshop: 7 March 2005 8 Current Status A long way to go before deployment of gLite is as straightforward as deployment of LCG-2. –Currently no File Transfer Service and File Placement Service. –UI is far from production quality. –Takes 2-3 people in the Certification team 2-3 days to deploy all services. –No User Guide. Only very limited (and manual) testing possible on the Certification test bed at the moment. –Currently seeing approx. 50% failure rate for jobs.
