Demonstrates automated integration testing of XRootD in GridPP, highlighting improved reliability and ease for administrators.
XRootD is a robust and scalable service that enables distributed data management for scientific communities, including Astronomy and High-Energy Physics (HEP). Within GridPP, XRootD is crucial for managing over 100PB of storage. However, due to diverse site configurations, integration testing has been historically challenging. This paper presents “XKIT” a Kubernetes-based system for automated XRootD testing, reducing the burden on administrators while ensuring reliability and reproducibility. We discuss the implementation, testing strategies, and benefits for the broader GridPP community.
