At any moment in time, the CMS1 experiment is running hundreds of thousands of jobs on its distributed computing system, part of the World Wide Computing Grid2. Billions of collision events are simulated and reconstructed per week, lumped together in datasets for final analysis, published on commonly accessed catalogues. This task requires significant human effort. A possible way to increase the sustainability of computing operations is to develop and improve tools which allow automated tasks. Unified3 is part of such a category of software tools. It is a set of python components that contributes to the smooth automation of several operations relative to the CMS1 central production. For example, the tool makes sure for the whole workflow management and needs significant integrations for various utilities. Testing Unified3 is a fundamental task, and currently, the job requires manual work. This project aims to implement, via Github Actions4, automation of the Unified3 software integration process, including continuous integration and testing. The goal is to streamline the development, making it easier to integrate fixes and new features for developers and to obtain a fresh build for users. |
