| Abstract: |
Gaia is an ESA cornerstone mission, expected to launch in 2013.
Parallaxes for 1 billion stars with up to 10 μas accuracy will be measured
using Gaia. Data from Gaia will be processed by 3 pipelines: Initial Data
Treatment First Look (IDT-FL), Astrometric Global Iterative Solution (AGIS) and
Intermediate Data Update (IDU). IDT-FL runs daily, to process the incoming data
and match them to the existing catalogue. FL does sanity checks on the IDT
output and issues alerts for any problems.
In this paper we describe the production of test data and and tests
designed to help develop Detailed First Look Monitor (DFLM) code for FL. These
diagnostic tests help to bridge the gap between simple JUnit tests and the full
IDT-FL integration tests, by testing the complex setup and infrastructure of the
DFLM diagnostics and analyses. |
