Description
Testing grid middleware and applications in realistic environments is a challenging task that requires the availability and management of distributed testbeds and efficient tools. In addition, the transition from the current EGEE software development structure based on centralized integration and certification to the foreseen EGI/UMD structure based on distributed product development units calls for even more dynamic and efficient management of the testbeds and the testing and certification tools. This session discusses the possible transition plans to the foreseen certification strategies and how existing test management systems like ETICS can help in the organization and coordination of this type of distributed software certification
