Daidalos (49 partners), integration was an immense task

co-ordinated and implemented by WP5.

Tasks Included

Defining Integration Processes and Models

Defining conformance test Specifications

Test Site Planning,Deployment and Integration

Test planning/scheduling/status report documentation

Test case execution, fault detection, result reporting.

Daidalos WP5 Task Forces The Integration of WP innovations were completed through the selected ‘Nidaros’ Scenario. To evolve and implement this scenario, task forces were created Scene analysis Task Force (Input from all WP’s) Scene Step analysis Task Force (Input from WP5 step responsible) Mapping and Deployment Task Force

Daidalos Integration Testing Validation of the Nidaros Integrated Demonstrator conformance tests Sophia Antopolis in November 2005 , Aveiro in March 2006. The 1st validation could only produce very high-level results (i.e. pass/fail of TC). As issues were resolved we were able to validate the demonstrator at a much lower level of detail. Conformance session in Aveiro up to 120 test cases were planned, based on the Nidaros Test case specifications.

Validation of the Nidaros Integrated Demonstrator conformance tests

Sophia Antopolis in November 2005 , Aveiro in March 2006.

The 1st validation could only produce very high-level results (i.e. pass/fail of TC).

As issues were resolved we were able to validate the demonstrator at a much lower level of detail.

Conformance session in Aveiro up to 120 test cases were planned, based on the Nidaros Test case specifications.

Integration Issues Encountered Unstable MIPv6, switch from Mandrake to Ubunto Machines crashing and rebooting became time consuming. Minor Errors encountered, led many times to major complications. Initial steps and configurations unforeseen eroded into valuable scheduled testing allocated time.

Unstable MIPv6, switch from Mandrake to Ubunto

Machines crashing and rebooting became time consuming.

Minor Errors encountered, led many times to major complications.

Initial steps and configurations unforeseen eroded into valuable scheduled testing allocated time.

Conclusion and Results Communication was a main issue encountered during integration Using Ubunto, MIPv6 became a lot more stable. Key point - developers to meet iteration delivery deadlines Scenario step planning contributed positively to the integration process. The 1st successful integrated testing utilising all Work packages took place at Aveiro.
