Shameera Rathnayaka commented on AIRAVATA-346:
----------------------------------------------
Hi devs,
After reading this paper[1] I have come up with this,
1. we need a configurable interface to customize the data required to start
emulator.
2. Application emulation - Dummy applications(proxy services) can register via
Xbaya, once the dummy application receives the input message, it invokes the
task state simulation chain and returns the output to the workflow.
3. Application availability and Failure model - to provide a better real world
scenario, user can config the failure rate of each task state as user's
requirement.
4. Pluggable interface to grid emulators and cloud emulators.
We need to find/develop a good Failure level management algorithm to provide
better real world simulation interface, and scalable to handle large number of
workflows.

> It is common to need to test something you've created on a test environment
> rather than on a real setup. This is because,
> 1. The tasks are trivial and it'll be faster to run locally to verify correct
> flow/execution.
> 2. It can cost to run them on a real setup at development stage.
> 3. Proper access to the real setup is not available
> 4. Unit testing on a real setup is unfeasible
> Thus it would be easy for the user if there is a way to setup a simulated
> environment without much difficulty may be perhaps with some dummy data from
> the user itself. Effectively it will be behaving exactly as a GFac
> server/message box/registry etc but with hard wired data. As an example
> ideally it would be like the Azure simulator I guess.
