Description
A grid system is a set of heterogeneous computational and storage
resources, distributed on a large geographic scale, which belong to
different administrative domains and serve several different
scientific communities named Virtual Organizations (VOs). A virtual
organization is a group of people or institutions which collaborate
to achieve common objectives. Therefore such system has to guarantee
the coexistence of different VO’s applications providing them the
suitable run-time environment. Hence tools are needed both at local
and central level for testing and detecting eventually bad software
configuration on a grid site.
In this paper we present a web based tool which permits to a Grid
Operational Centre (GOC) or a Site Manager to test a grid site from
the VO viewpoint.
The aim is to create a central repository for collecting both
existing and emerging VO tests. EachVO test may include one ore more
specific application tests, and each test could include one ore more
subtests, arranged in a hierarchic structure.
A general and flexible framework is presented capable to include VO
tests straightforwardly by means of a description file. Submission of
a bunch of tests to a particular grid site is made available through
a web portal. On the same portal, past and current results and logs
can be browsed.
