Abstract
The Geant4, GeantV and GENIE collaborations regularly perform validation and regression tests for simulation results. DoSSiER (Database of Scientific Simulation and Experimental Results) is being developed as a central repository to store the simulation results as well as the experimental data used for validation. DoSSiER is easily accessible via a web application. In addition, a web service allows for programmatic access to the repository to extract records in JSON or XML exchange formats. In this article, we describe the functionality and the current status of various components of DoSSiER as well as the technology choices we made.
Highlights
Software collaborations in high energy physics regularly perform validation and regression tests for simulation results
A validation test compares simulation results with data obtained by various experiments while a regression test compares results of two or more versions of the software for an observable
On the top of the view we find information describing the Geant4 test and the publications from which the data for physics validation was extracted
Summary
1. Introduction Software collaborations in high energy physics regularly perform validation and regression tests for simulation results. DoSSiER (Database of Scientific Simulation and Experimental Results) is being developed to collect and organize the materials in one central repository and to make this data available via a web application and web service. The web application should provide an easy-to-use web-interface providing search engines and easy-to-navigate menus with default values, and should allow the user to select and overlay tests with experimental data.
