DAVAÏ User Guide

DAVAÏ embeds the whole workflow from the source code to the green/red light validation status: fetching sources from Git, building executables, running test cases, analysing the results and displaying them on a dashboard.

For now, the only build system embedded is gmkpack, but we expect other systems to be plugged when required. The second limitation of this version is that the starting point is still an IAL^[1] Git reference only. The next version of the DAVAÏ system will include multi-projects/repositories fetching, using the bundle concept as starting point.

The dimensioning of tests (grid sizes, number of observations, parallelization...) is done in order to conceal representativity and execution speed. Therefore, in the general usecases, the tests are supposed to run on HPC. A dedicated usecase will target smaller configurations to run on workstation (not available yet). An accessible source code forge is set within the ACCORD consortium to host the IAL central repository on which updates and releases are published, and where integration requests will be posted, reviewed and monitored.

By the way: DAVAI stands for "Device Aiming at the VAlidation of IAL"
