Certification Tests

VDT (1.1.8 and later) currently provides a list of certification tests. The tests are unit tests of basic functionality of:

Condor
Condor-G
Globus Gatekeeper
Globus GridFTP server
Globus MDS
GSI ssh, scp
MyProxy

Click here for detailed information about each test.

These tests can be retrieved via Pacman by downloading VDT-Test from the VDT cache:
pacman -get VDT:VDT-Test

The tests can be run independently or by the VDT test harness also available from the VDT 1.1.8 (or later). The test harness runs a specified series of tests and captures their results, saving the output of unsuccessfully completed tests. The test harness also includes a suite of tests written by Globus developers. However, they have not been fully integrated into our test framework.

The test harness and VDT Certification tests install into

${VDT_LOCATION}/vdt/tests

directory.

In order to run certification tests, do the following

Make sure VDT_LOCATION is defined

Make sure python 2.0 (or higher) is in your PATH

cd ${VDT_LOCATION}/vdt/tests

Modify VDTCertificationTests to choose the tests you wish to run and/or set environment variables required by the tests.

Make sure that globus-gatekeeper, gsiftp, gram and condor are running on the test machine. If any of these services are down the associated tests will fail.

test_harness/runTests.py VDTCertificationTests

After the globus_init_grid_proxy test starts enter your grid cert password

START TEST Root
START TEST globus_init_grid_proxy.pl
<type your password here>

The test suite should run for several minutes. You should see something like this (in case of a successfull run):

[ckireyev@condor-unsup-7 tests]$ test_harness/runTests.py VDTCertificationTests

START TEST globus_init_grid_proxy.pl
