The Reproducible Experimentation System (RES)

Table of Contents

Description

RES is a wrapper system that enables analysts and researchers to easily create, package, and execute experiments that are generated using virtual machines.

The current version of RES supports VirtualBox machines.

Limitations

  • The system currently does not allow entry of custom VM commands. This feature is forthcoming.

Installation

RES has been tested on:

  • Windows 10 (64-bit)
  • Ubuntu 16.04 LTE (64-bit)
Requirements
Windows

Clone the source and then cd into the directory:

git clone https://github.com/raistlinJ/res
cd res

Setup and activate the virtualenv container

python -m venv venv
venv\Scripts\activate

Install the res python dependencies

pip install -r requirements.txt
Linux

Install Python >= 3.5 (if you already have it, skip this step):

sudo apt-get install libreadline-gplv2-dev libncursesw5-dev libssl-dev libsqlite3-dev tk-dev libgdbm-dev libc6-dev libbz2-dev

wget https://www.python.org/ftp/python/3.6.9/Python-3.6.9.tgz
tar zxvf Python-3.6.9.tgz
cd Python-3.6.9
./configure
make
sudo make install

Setup and activate the virtualenv container

python3 -m venv venv

Clone RES repo

git clone https://github.com/raistlinJ/res
cd res

Activate the venv and install python dependencides

source venv/bin/activate
pip3 install -r requirements.txt

To run the GUI, follow the steps in Run the GUI. To run the engine tests, follow the steps in Run Engine Tests.

Run the GUI

Navigate to the folder where you downloaded res and activate the virtualenv container

cd res
Linux
source venv\bin\activate
Windows
venv\Scripts\activate
Both

Start the GUI

python main.py

A sample RES file can be downloaded here. After downloading the file, right-click and select to Import the file.

Run Engine Tests

A driver program is included that will demonstrate several of the functions provided by RES.

Download the Sample RES file from here and save it into the following directory

res/src/main/python/ExperimentData/samples/

Activate the virtualenv container

cd res
(Windows)
venv\Scripts\activate
(Linux)
source venv\bin\activate

Run the Engine Tests:

cd src/main/python/
python TestEngine.py
