Socorro/Pre-PHX Smoketest Schedule

bug 619817

• What we are going to test and how in terms of load
  • what:
    • at what point do collectors fall over?
      • start with 40 test nodes at 1k crashes each, versus one socorro collector
        • assuming/hoping this will overwhelm one collector
        • back down nodes/crashes until we find a stable place
        • check ganglia to see where our bottlenecks are
    • crashes are collected without error
    • all submitted crashes are collected and processed
      • check apache logs for collector (syslog not reliable)
      • check processor and collector logs for errors
      • confirm that all crashes are stored in hbase
  • how:
    • grinder (bug 619815) + 20 VMs (bug 619814)
    • Lars added stats and iteration to submitter.py for initial smoke-test bug 622311
    • 40 seamicro nodes standing by to test, using socorro-loadtest.sh
    • pool of 240k crashes, taken over 10 days from MPT prod (Jan 1st through 10th)
  • when:
    • waiting on deps in tracking bug 619811
    • tentative start date - Monday Jan 10 2010
      • minimum 2-3 days testing; as much as we can get
• what component failure tests we will run
  • disable individual components to see test failure/recovery
    • hbase
    • postgresql
    • monitor
    • processor
    • others?
