These release notes describe the first release of the Quality Criteria for UMD software that is expected to be delivered in early August 2011.

The documents can be found at DocDB #364, current status is DRAFT.


What's New

Several changes have been introduced in the documents, the most relevant ones are:

  • New template more compact and with uniform formatting of fields.
  • New capabilities covered: Messaging, Client API, Interactive Job, Remote Instrumentation



Documents

The Quality Criteria (QC) can be found in the DocDB #364, there is one document for each type of capability:

  • Generic QC, for all software
  • Security Capabilities QC
  • Information Capabilities QC
  • Storage Capabilities QC
  • Data Capabilities QC
  • Compute Capabilities QC
  • Operations Capabilities QC

Take into account that a software product may cover QC specified in more than one of those documents.

Deprecated QC

None

Covered Capabilities

From all capabilities identified in version 2 of UMD Roadmap, the following are covered:

Security Capabilities

  • Authentication
  • Attribute Authority (using VOMS as reference implementation)
  • Authorization (using Argus as reference implementation)
  • Credential Management (using MyProxy as reference implementation)

Information Capabilities

  • Information Model
  • Information Discovery
  • Messaging

Storage Capabilities

  • File Encryption/Decryption (using Hydra as reference implementation)
  • File Access
  • File Transfer
  • File Transfer Scheduling (using FTS as reference implementation)
  • Storage Management

Data Capabilities
