perfSONAR User Q&A and Other Discussion

[Daniel Doyle <>]

Chen,

Currently there is no API for adding a new regular test in the standard 
toolkit. There is another effort in the pS community called "OPPD" which was 
designed to support on demand testing among other things. I do not believe 
there is any formal API documentation for this, however, so I'm forwarding 
your request to the developer list so that one of the devs that works on the 
OPPD suite can work with you.
