XRootD Testing Framework

What This Framework Is For:

This framework is made to test XRootD functionalities and performance on pre-deployed endpoints. The purpose of these tests is to:

  • Check that basic XRootD functionality works with the endpoint’s setup and configuration

  • Benchmark the performance of file transfer and deletion

Link to Documentation: https://stfc.github.io/xrootd-testing-framework/

Installation

Conda

The latest versions of XRootD, XRootD Python client and gfal2 packages are required to generate and run the tests.

Once the packages are installed, it is recommended that a conda environment is created to install relevant python modules and clone the repository. We recommend using either miniconda, which is a minimal installer for conda.

Create a new conda environment with python version 3.9 or higher:

conda create -n xrd_tests python=3.9

Activate the environment:

conda activate xrd_tests

Clone the repository and navigate into its root directory:

git clone https://github.com/stfc/xrootd-testing-framework.git

cd xrootd-testing-framework

Install pip:

conda install pip

Install the required python modules:

pip install -r requirements.txt

Finally, navigate to the TestScripts directory to modify or run test scripts:

cd TestScripts
pytest test_readwrite.py

Docker

Alternatively, the framework environment can be run as a Docker container, and tests can be run within this container. The Docker image uses Rocky Linux 8 and can be downloaded on Harbour:
