Scan Automated Testing for the ATLAS Pixel Detector — Marcello Bindi1, Tobias Bisanz2, Arnulf Quadt1, and •Christian Scheulen1 — 1II. Physikalisches Institut, Georg-August Universität Göttingen — 2CERN, Geneva, Switzerland
The ATLAS Pixel detector data acquisition system (DAQ) is distributed over several different physical components, such as front-end detector modules, read-out drivers, and PCs for operating and calibrating the detector. As a result, time-consuming manual tests are currently required to ensure the correct operation of the entire system after software or firmware changes in any component.
To simplify software validation and free up manpower, a suite of automated tests is being developed for deployment in the DAQ software’s continuous integration system on GitLab. Fully automated testing is only possible without involvement of the detector modules, whose operation requires some degree of manual supervision. Therefore, emulated detector responses are used for tests of readout-chain components under exclusion of the detector modules themselves.
This talk will present the initial stages of scan automated testing development, consisting of the fundamental test infrastructure and the first emulated scan tests for software validation.
