Argus Development Tools

The tools used by the Argus PT to develop the Argus Authorization Service

Development

• Eclipse IDE for all Java and C development (http://www.eclipse.org/)
• CERN subversion server for the version control of all Argus components (http://svnweb.cern.ch/world/wsvn/glxa)
• CERN wiki for the development and product documentation (https://twiki.cern.ch/twiki/bin/view/EGEE/AuthorizationFrameworkArchive)

Build

• Maven for the compilation of the main Java components (http://maven.apache.org/)
• ant for the compilation of the PEP Java client library (http://ant.apache.org/)
• Autotools, configure and make for the compilation of the C components
• ETICS for the packaging and release management of all the Argus components (https://etics.cern.ch/)
• YAIM scripts for the glite-ARGUS node configuration

Test

• JUnit for some of the Java components
• Grinder for the internal load and stress testing of the server components (http://grinder.sourceforge.net/)

QA

• GGUS for users support (http://www.ggus.org)
• LCG Savannah for bugs, tasks and patches tracking (https://savannah.cern.ch)
• A code review was done by the PSNC Security Team, but we don't have enough resource within the Argus PT to do it ourself
• CERN vNode test bed using the automatic YAIM-gen for product certification

Infrastructure and Repository

• Some virtual machines for internal testing
• CERN YUM repository for deployment
• YAIM for the glite-ARGUS node configuration
