Testing Of The Load Sharing Facility's Self-Managent

The distributed computing technology has been improved continuously in recent years. It takes advantage of the idle process ability of the CPUs in the machines on the internet to resolve the problem of the mass computation. The grid computing is a kind of distributed computing, which has been improved rapidly along with the internet technology. It is a new-style computing model that specially deals with complicated scientific computation. The LSF (Load sharing facility) is a kind of software platform supported the grid computing. It provides the self-management to make the hosts work more effectively in the cluster.The main content of this subject is to test the self-management of the Load Sharing Facility which has been already enhanced. The main objective of this subject is to ensure the new feature will not influence the related old feature and work normally by using all kinds of testing method. The significance of the subject is to make the self-management of the Load Sharing Facility resolve the host exception in the cluster level based on the high quality assurance so that the self-management can be used more widely in the complex network architecture.This thesis introduced and analyzed the functional, architecture and principle of the LSF. It also explained the principle of the self-management of the Platform LSF. The thesis introduced the design decisions in the high level design, made out the test requirement, listed the typical test cases, set up the test environment, executed the test based on test steps in the test cases, recorded and analyzed the test result and drew the test conclusion.The achievement of the subject is: Assure the quality of the project; Record the whole test result, which provides the important gist for the review of the project.
