Bob Jones – EDG retreat – August 2002 - n° 2

General Approach

Incremental improvements made to a stable release 1.2 Each change tested and accepted/rejected before moving on to the next

Advantage: we can move a working release to the certificate testbed after any improvement

Choice based on priorities for users and availability of resources (human and hardware) to perform further testing on the certification testbed

Important milestones Data Challenges

Given dates for each experiment (discussed by WP6 at Budapest)

EU Review (April 2003)

Note: all this relies on the 3 basic things being put in place: A full-time testing group to assemble and maintain a comprehensive test

suite

A certification testbed on which to perform tests

Automation of software installation, configuration & testing

Releases for large deployment

Move a stable tagged release from the development testbed to the certification testbed at the end of September

Report on its contents at next PTB (2nd October)

Testing/Certification is likely to take between 1 and 2 months

Release should make its way to the application/production testbed for the end of the year or early January

Use First quarter of 2003 to prepare demonstrations etc. for EDG review using this release

Further “latest developments” could be identified (demonstrated?) as running on the development/certification testbed
