How the Condor Team Got
Started in the Build/Test
Business: Prehistory
› Oracle shamed^H^H^H^H^H^Hinspired us.
› The Condor team was in the stone age,
producing modern software to help people
reliably automate their computing tasks -with our bare hands.
• Every Condor release took weeks/months to do.
• Build by hand on each platform, discover lots of
bugs introduced since the last release, track
them down, re-build, etc.
www.cs.wisc.edu/condor
What Did Oracle Do?
› Oracle selected Condor as the resource manager
›
›
underneath their Automated Integration
Management Environment (AIME)
Relied on to perform automated build and
regression testing of multiple components for
Oracle's flagship Database Server product.
Oracle chose Condor because they liked the
maturity of Condor's core components.
www.cs.wisc.edu/condor
Doh!
› Oracle used distributed computing to automate
›
›
›
their build/test cycle, with huge success.
If Oracle can do it, why can’t we?
Use Condor to build Condor!
NSF Middleware Initiative (NMI)
• right initiative at the right time!
• opportunity to collaborate with others to do for
production software developers like Condor what Oracle
was doing for themselves
• important service to the scientific computing community
www.cs.wisc.edu/condor
NMI Statement
› Purpose – to develop, deploy and sustain a set of
›
reusable and expandable middleware functions
that benefit many science and engineering
applications in a networked environment
Program encourages open source software
development and development of middleware
standards
www.cs.wisc.edu/condor
Why should you care?
From our experience, the functionality,
robustness and maintainability of a
production-quality software component
depends on the effort involved in
building, deploying and testing the
component.
• If it is true for a component, it is definitely
true for a software stack
• Doing it right is much harder than it appears
from the outside
• Most of us had very little experience in this
area
www.cs.wisc.edu/condor
Goals of the
NMI Build & Test System
› Design, develop and deploy a complete build
›
system (HW and SW) capable of performing
daily builds and tests of a suite of disparate
software packages on a heterogeneous (HW,
OS, libraries, …) collection of platforms
And make it:
•
•
•
•
•
•
Dependable
Traceable
Manageable
Portable
Extensible
Schedulable
www.cs.wisc.edu/condor
The Build Challenge
› Automation - “build the component at the push of a button!”
•
•
always more to it than just “configure” & “make”
e.g., ssh to right host; cvs checkout; untar; setenv, etc.
•
•
Well-managed & comprehensive source repository
Know your “externals” and keep them around
•
•
No dependencies on “local” capabilities
Understand your hardware & software requirements
› Reproducibility – “build the version we released 2 years ago!”
› Portability – “build the component on nodeX.cluster.com!”
› Manageability – “run the build daily on 15 platforms and
email me the outcome!”
www.cs.wisc.edu/condor
The Testing Challenge
› All the same challenges as builds (automation,
›
reproducibility, portability, manageability), plus:
Flexibility
•
•
•
•
“test our RHEL4 binaries on RHEL5!”
“run our new tests on our old binaries”
important to decouple build & test functions
making tests just a part of a build -- instead of an
independent step -- makes it difficult/impossible to:
• run new tests against old builds
• test one platform’s binaries on another platform
• run different tests at different frequencies
www.cs.wisc.edu/condor
“Eating Our Own Dogfood”
› What Did We Do?
• We built the NMI Build & Test Lab on top of
Condor, DAGMan, and other distributed computing
technologies to automate the build, deploy, and
test cycle.
• To support it, we’ve had to construct and manage a
dedicated, heterogeneous distributed computing
facility.
• Opposite extreme from typical “cluster” -- instead
of 1000’s of identical CPUs, we have a handful of
CPUs each for ~40 platforms.
• Much harder to manage! You try finding a sysadmin
tool that works on 40 platforms!
• We’re just another big Condor user
• If Condor sucks, we feel the pain.

Condor Build & Test
› Automated Condor Builds
• Two (sometimes three) separate Condor
versions, each automatically built using NMI on
13-17 platforms nightly
• Stable, developer, special release branches
› Automated Condor Tests
• Each nightly build’s output becomes the input to
a new NMI run of our full Condor test suite
› Ad-Hoc Builds & Tests
• Each Condor developer can use NMI to submit
ad-hoc builds & tests of their experimental
workspaces or CVS branches to any or all
platforms
www.cs.wisc.edu/condor
www.cs.wisc.edu/condor
More Condor Testing Work
• Advanced Test Suite
• Using binaries from each build, we deploy an
entire self-contained Condor pool on each test
machine
• Runs a battery of Condor jobs and tests to
verify critical features
• Currently >150 distinct tests
• each executed for each build, on each platform, for
each release, every night
• Flightworthy Initiative
• Ensuring continued “core” Condor scalability, robustness
• NSF funded, like NMI
• Producing new tests all the time
www.cs.wisc.edu/condor
NMI Build & Test
Customers
› NMI Build & Test Facility was built to
›
serve all NMI projects

• Globus
• NMI Middleware Distribution
• many “grid” tools, including Condor & Globus
• Virtual Data Toolkit (VDT) for the Open
Science Grid (OSG)
• 40+ components
• Soon TeraGrid, NEESgrid, others…
www.cs.wisc.edu/condor
Build & Test Beyond NMI
› We want to integrate with other,
related software quality projects, and
share build/test resources...
• an international (US/Europe/China) federation of
build/test grids…
• Offer our tools as the foundation for other B&T systems
• Leverage others’ work to improve out own B&T service
www.cs.wisc.edu/condor
OMII-UK

Regression Testing – Compatibility between versions
Stress Testing – Correct operation under real loads
• Distributed Testbed
•
•
Need a breadth & variety of resources not power
Needs to be a managed resource – process
www.cs.wisc.edu/condor
NMI/OMII-UK
Collaboration
› Phase I: OMII-UK developed automated builds &
›
tests using the NMI Build & Test Lab at UWMadison
Phase II: OMII-UK deployed their own instance of
the NMI Build & Test Lab at Southampton
University
• Our lab at UW-Madison is well and good, but some
collaborators want/need their own local facilities.
› Phase III (in progress): Move jobs freely between
UW and OMII-UK B&T labs as needed.

ETICS Project Goals
› ETICS will provide a multi-platform environment for building
and testing middleware and applications for major European
e-Science projects
› “Strong point is automation: of builds, of tests, of reporting,
etc. The goal is to simplify life when managing complex
software management tasks”
•
One button to generate finished package (e.g., RPMs) for any
chosen component
› ETICS is developing a higher-level web service and DB to
generate B&T jobs -- and use multiple, distributed NMI B&T
Labs to execute & manage them
•
This work complements the existing NMI Build & Test system
and is something we want to integrate & use to benefit other
NMI users!

•
What They’re Doing
•
•
“…provide service which can use on-demand autobuild and test systems
for Grid middlewares on on-demand virtual cluster. Developers can build
and test their software immediately by using our autobuild and test
systems”
Underlying B&T Infrastructure is NMI Build & Test Software
www.cs.wisc.edu/condor
This was a Lot of Work… But
It Got Easier Each Time
› Deployments of the NMI B&T Software
›
with international collaborators taught us
how to export Build & Test as a service.
Tolya Karp: International B&T Hero
• Improved (i.e., wrote) NMI install scripts
• Improved configuration process
• Debugged and solved a myriad of details that
didn’t work in new environments
