1. Alex Undrus – GRID Testing – 18 Oct 2012 1 Nightlies Testing on the GRID: Status Oct. 2012 Purposes: Moderate scale production for quick validation (when a release is rapidly evolving) Catch compatibility problems on machines of various platforms/hardware Test an access to storage types Use nightly releases on CVMFS Distributed Testing System: HammerCloud

2. Alex Undrus – GRID Testing – 18 Oct 2012 2 Nightlies Testing on the GRID: Status Oct. 2012 Achievements: Several tests are running at ANALY_CERN_XROOTD and ANALY_wuppertalprod sites with reduced submission rate (4 jobs executed within 24h) Test are based on 17.X.0 and 18.X.0 nightlies (fixed rel_0 release) RunTime environment is OK (the same jobs can be manually submitted via prun or pathena) Tests can be athena jobs or scripts, with or without input/output data Area in SVN repository for nightlies test templates is created Test types: HelloWorld (OK) Reco_trf q120 (OK) Reco_trf q121 (fails, under investigation) McParticleTest (MC generation, fail, author Sebastien Binet suggests an interference with GRID middleware)

3. Alex Undrus – GRID Testing – 18 Oct 2012 3 Nightlies Testing on the GRID: Status Oct. 2012 Possible improvements/extensions: Chained tests, e.g. Simulation->Reconstruction->Analysis. Chains use data generated by the previous step Increase number of tests Increase number of sites (different OS, storage systems) Ideally the latest nightly release should be tested Display of nightlies specific results Information exchange between NICOS and HammerCloud
