Procedure QA Deployment

Preparation of the QA validation plan

A gCube release result of the integration activity implemented by WP7 could include a high number of new and upgrade components. The information about the components that are part of a release are listed in trac under the report ( grouped by milestone)

https://issue.imarine.research-infrastructures.eu/report/17

Bundle components

Belongs to this group of components the base containers of our infrastructure components:

• org.gcube.portal.portal-bundle
• org.gcube.distribution.ghn-distribution
• org.gcube.distribution.smartgears-distribution

Enabling Layer components

Belongs to these category the components that are the the enablers of our infrastructure, the base services that allows discovery, resource management, service deployments etc etc:

• org.gcube.vre-management
• org.gcube.information-system
• org.gcube.vo-management
• org.gcube.messaging
• org.gcore

In addition the compos belonging to the following

Portal components

Components GUI side to to be installed only on the infrastructure portal:

• org.portlets-*
• org.portal-
• org.gcube.application-support-layer.*

In addiction to these subsystem, some other GUI side components are part of the subsystems. org.gcube.application and org.gcube.messaging.

Those components represent the base
