Client Distributions

How to test and run samples

If you built Airavata from source, and if you see "BUILD SUCCESS", then the test cases should have passes.
The test cases are beyond unit level, they startup embedded services and run through basic workflow use cases.
To walk through Airavata features, follow "XBAYA Quick-Start Tutorial" tutorial at https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/AIRAVATA/XBAYA+Quick-Start+Tutorial.
For advanced use cases, please contact mailing lists - http://airavata.apache.org/community/mailing-lists.html
