In this video from the 2018 Swiss HPC Conference, Victor Holanda Rusu from CSCS presents: ReFrame: A Regression Testing Framework Enabling Continuous Integration of Large HPC Systems.

Scientifico ReFrame is a new framework for writing regression tests for HPC systems. The goal of the framework is to abstract away the complexity of the interactions with the system, separating the logic of a regression test from the low-level details, which pertain to the system configuration and setup. This allows users to write easily portable regression tests, focusing only on the functionality. The purpose of the tutorial will be to do a live demo of ReFrame and a hands-on session demonstrating how to configure it and how to use it.”

Victor Holanda Rusu is a Computational Scientist at CSCS. He studied Chemistry at the Universidade Federal de Pernambuco, Brazil. After obtaining his PhD in Chemistry in 2014, working with Professor Roberto Dias Lins Neto, he became a postdoctoral fellow at ETH Zurich, working under the Professor Wilfred van Gunsteren. In 2016, he joined the Swiss Super Computing Centre (CSCS) in Lugano in the Scientific Community and Support team. Since then he has contributed to the development of ReFrame, a multifaceted regression framework.
