<p style="margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0"><br>

<p style="margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0">As we prepare for this summer's running I expect that there will be quite a few changes and improvements in the reconstruction software. In preparation for that I would like to improve our integration testing. We currently
run the full reconstruction from scratch on a set of <span style="display: inline !important; float: none; background-color: transparent; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Calibri,Helvetica,sans-serif,"EmojiFont","Apple Color Emoji","Segoe UI Emoji",NotoColorEmoji,"Segoe UI Symbol","Android Emoji",EmojiSymbols; font-size: 16px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; orphans: 2; text-align: left; text-decoration: none; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px;">
evio files</span> containing skimmed FEE, Mollers and V0s. Currently we produce a set of histograms (primarily SVT-related) and simply compare them against a set of reference histograms. I'd like to include more and better diagnostics (especially ECal-related)
and improve the comparisons. Please contact me if you have any suggestions for improvement.</p>
<p style="margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0"><br>
</p>
<p style="margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0">Additionally, we expect to have many more computing resources available to us in the counting room during this summer's run. I'm hoping we can turn the integration tests into a sort of near-real-time analysis stream that
will provide us an end-to-end QA process to complement our detector DQM streams. </p>
