Extensive and thorough testing of the EGEE middleware is essential to ensure that a production quality Grid can be deployed on a large scale as well as across the broad range of heterogeneous resources that make up the hundreds of Grid computing centres both in Europe and worldwide. Testing of the EGEE middleware encompasses the tasks of both verification and validation. In addition we test the integrated middleware for stability, platform independence, stress resilience, scalability and

As much as is possible the testing procedures are automated and integrated with the EGEE build system. This allows for continuous testing together with the incremental daily code builds, fast and early feedback to developers, and for the easy inclusion of regression tests.
