## Testing

These instructions describe how to test an ESGF node installation. They assume

the ESGF node has been started using `docker-compose` or `docker helm`.

We *recommend* that each developer executes these tests before issuing a pull request into the *devel* branch.

These tests *must* be executed before issuing a pull request into the *master* branch. 

In what follows, replace `$ESGF_HOSTNAME` with the specific hostname assigned to your node.

### Manual Testing

The following procedure can be used to manually test an ESGF Node installation using a browser.

* Solr admin interface: https:/$ESGF_HOSTNAME/solr/#/ . Check you can perform a basic search

* ESGF search API: http:///$ESGF_HOSTNAME/esg-search/search.
