WP5: Testbed Status Service

The Testbed Status Service is made of two parts:

• testing tools
• publishing web service

The testing tools are a framework for running parallel tests writen in Java or any programing language thru executing new processes, and a set of ready-to-go tests implemented mostly using Globus Java CoG Kit and shellscripts running native clients for different grid services. A list of implemented tests is available. Results of these tests are written into a relational database.

The publishing web service makes the results stored in relational database available in machine-readable form thru SOAP calls. The interface of the service is fully documented in its Web Service Description Language (WSDL) description. Available operations provide lists of jobmanagers known to be working for MPI jobs, known to be working for non-MPI jobs, and hosts on the testbed.

Results of all tests with their history can be displayed in human-readable form using a portlet for GridSphere portal.
