Testing

Linux supported platforms:

• 64-bit CentOS-6 on HEAD network

• 64-bit CentOS-7 on HEAD network

• 64-bit CentOS-5 on GRETA network (chimchim)

• Pass applicable ska_testr tests on supported platforms. Some tests cannot run due to unavailable resources, or a non-requirement (e.g. updating Ska eng archive is done on Ska2, so the update/long regression tests are not required on Ska3).

• Pass ACIS ops tests for load review software include LR script, non-load event tools and ACIS thermal model checks using CentOS-7 on HEAD.

MacOSX supported platform:

• High Sierra (may work on others)

• Pass applicable ska_testr tests on supported platform.

Review

• Advertise code and documentation to ops community for review and comment.
• Require explicit concurrence from
  • FOM
  • LSE
  • FOT SW lead
  • SOT MP representative
  • FOT MP manager
  • ACIS ops rep
  • HRC ops rep
  • HRC IPI team rep
  • Aspect (Aldcroft)
  • Ska (Connelly)
  • MTA (Sobolewska / Lina P-D)
• Formal approval at LR board (Wolk as FD)

Deployment

• Ska3 is already installed on the supported platforms so no installation is required.
• Permissions for the Matlab-32 environment (used in FOT Matlab tools) may need update following approval of the first FOT Matlab tools release that uses Ska3.
