The ATLAS RunTimeTester software
Brinick Simmons, Peter Sherwood, Krzysztof Ciba, A J Richards · Journal of Physics Conference Series · 2010
The ATLAS experiment's RunTimeTester (RTT) is a software testing framework into which software package developers can plug their tests, have them run automatically, and obtain feedback via email and the web. The RTT processes the ATLAS nightly build releases, using acron to launch runs on a dedicated cluster at CERN, and submitting user jobs to dedicated LSF batch queues. Running computationally longer tests, up to 24 hours long, it is thus complementary to the ATLAS ATN framework which feeds back rapidly on few event tests run directly on ATLAS build machines.
