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 source code to be provided can be either an IAL^[1] Git reference or an IAL bundle. In the first case, the rest of the projects/repositories will be infered from the latest official tagged ancestor, using the git history of IAL-bundle.

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"
