[jira] [Created] (AIRAVATA-346) [GSoC] Framework to run/monitor workflows locally with simulated/dummy BE

[GSoC] Framework to run/monitor workflows locally with simulated/dummy BE
-------------------------------------------------------------------------

                 Key: AIRAVATA-346
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/AIRAVATA-346
             Project: Airavata
          Issue Type: New Feature
            Reporter: Saminda Wijeratne


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.
