These are the test types available with CIME.
From See https://github.com/ESMCI/cime/blob/master/scriptsCIME/Testing/TestcasesSystemTests/README for latest.
The following are the test functionality categories: 1) smoke tests 2) basic reproducibility tests 3) restart tests 34) threading/pe-count modification tests 45) sequencing (layout) modification tests 56) multi-instance tests 67) ESMF interfaceperformance tests 8) spinup tests (TODO) 7) archiving (short-term and long-term) 9) other component-specific tests Some 8)tests performancenot testsyet implemented in 9)python. spinup testsThey (TODO)can be 10)found compiler flag assumptions (e.g. auto-promotion) in cime/scripts/Testing/Testcases NOTES: - unless otherwise noted everything IOP is runcurrently innot one executablefunctional directory - suffix: denotes the component history file suffixes that are added as part of the test - IOP test is done along with regular tests - not as a separate test - IOP test is only currently valid for SMS, ERS and PET ====================================================================== Smoke Tests ========================================================================================================= Smoke Tests ======================= SMS smoke startup test (default length) do a 5 day initial test (suffix: base) if $IOP_ON is set then suffix is base_iop success for non-iop is just a successful coupler ================================================== SMS smoke startup test (default length) do a 5 day initial test (suffix: base) if $IOP_ON is set then suffix is base_iop success for non-iop is just a successful coupler SBN smoke build-namelist test (just run preview_namelist and check_input_data) ==================== Basic reproducibility Tests ====================================================================== REP reproducibility: do two identical runs give the same results? ====================================================================== Restart Tests ====================================================================== ERS exact restart from startup (default 6 days + 5 days) do an 11 day initial test - write a restart at day 6 (suffix: base) if $IOP_ON is set then suffix is base_iop do a 5 day restart test starting from restart at day 6 (suffix: rest) if $IOP_ON is set then suffix is rest_iop compare component history files ".base" and ".rest" at day 11 ERP pes counts hybrid (open-MP/MPI) restart bfb test from startup, default 6 days + 5 days (previousy PER) initial pes set up out of the box do an 11 day initial test - write a restart at day 6 (suffix base) half the number of tasks and threads for each component do a 5 day restart test starting from restart at day 6 (suffix rest) this is just like an ERS test but the pe-counts/threading count are modified on retart ERI hybrid/branch/exact restart test, default (by default STOP_N is 22 days) (1) ref1case do an initial for ${STOP_N}/6 writing restarts at ${STOP_N}/6 ref1 case is a clone of the main case (by default this will be 4 days) short term archiving is on (2) ref2case do a hybrid for ${STOP_N}-${STOP_N}/6 running with ref1 restarts from ${STOP_N}/6 and writing restarts at ( ${STOP_N} - ${STOP_N}/6 )/2 +1 (by default will run for 18 days and write a restart after 10 days) ref2 case is a clone of the main case short term archiving is on (3) case do a branch run starting from restart written in ref2 case and run and run for ??? days (4) case do a restart run from the branch case ERT Similar to ERS but longer. 2 months + 1 month ====================================================================== Threading/PE-Counts/Pe-SequencingRestart and Archive Tests ====================================================================== ERR PETdoes an ERS test modifiedexcept threadingthat openmpafter bfbthe testinitial (seqrun tests)the short term archive tool is run do an initial run where all components arewhich threadedmoves bymodel defaultoutput (suffix: base) do another initial run with nthrds=1 for all components (suffix: single_thread) compare base and single_thread PEM modified pe counts mpi bfb test (seq tests) do an initial run with default pe layout (suffix: base) do another initial run with modified pes (NTASKS_XXX => NTASKS_XXX/2) (suffix: modpes) compare base and single_thread PMT modified-task and modified-thread count bfb test (previousy OEM) do an initial run out of the run directory into the short-term archive directory then the restart run is staged from the short term archive directory.

The following modifiers can be used in the test name
_CG = gregorian calendar
_D = debug
_E = esmf interfaces
_IOP*= PnetCDF IO test where * is
A(atm), C(cpl), G(glc) , I(ice),
L(clm), O(ocn), W(wav) or blank (all components)
_L* = set run length y, m, d, h, s, n(nsteps) plus integer (ie _Lm6 for 6 months)
_M* = set the mpilib to *, where * is default, mpi-serial, mpich, etc
_N* = set NINST_ env value to *, where * is an integer
_P* = set pecount to *, where * are specific values which include
T,S,M,L,X,1,1x1,16,16x1,4x4, etc
_R* = PTS_MODE test case, valid values are LA, LB, OA, OB
