EGEE – Testing Era
Enabling Grids for E-science in Europe
• EDG: no dedicated testing work-package
(except loose cannons)
• LCG has the certification team
• EGEE: several dedicated test teams (foreseen in TA)

–
JRA1/Testing
NA4/Testing
ARDA/Testing
SA1/Certification
Leanne and her team -> natural hub
• EGEE: plus several activities wanting to verify their
requirements through testing:
– JRA3 – Security
– JRA4 – Network
 Need coordination!!

Goals of coordination
Enabling Grids for E-science in Europe
The goals are:
• Reuse of tests and test infrastructures
• Better coverage of functionality
–
–
–
–
–
Functional requirements
Deployment
Security
Performance
Etc
• Cross fertilisation
• Make sure we can plan and test with partial released
functionality on gLite
• Testing of gLite in an initial LCG context
(e.g. Certification, Pre-Production service)

Vision
Enabling Grids for E-science in Europe
• All tests are captured such that any test can
– run on any testbed/service and
– used by any testing team
• Dialogue between stakeholder goes through tests
– Less ambiguous
– Everybody share the same language: from applications
specialists -> to deployment experts -> software developers
