Hello Anna, I use two ways to run a Giraph job for testing. The one is to setup a single node cluster (there are many tutorials on that) and run your job via the command line.
The other way (through NetBeans) is Junit testing. Add those lines to your pom: <dependency> <groupId>junit</groupId> <artifactId>junit</artifactId> <version>4.11</version> </dependency> Then create a test package in your netbeans project. Normally there are two directories under your_root/src called "main" and "test". If there isn't one named "test", you should create and structure it normally, like the other one (add "java" and "resources" directories, packages, etc.). After that you will be able to see it through your IDE as well, and manage it like the main package. Finally, you can write Junit tests. Create a class called "Tests.java" or whatever else you want, and write methods in it using the @Test annotation. For example: @Test public void yourTestFunction() throws Exception { String[] tinyGraph = { "1 2", "1 3", "2 1", "2 4", "3 1", "3 4", "4 2", "4 3", "4 5", "4 6", "5 4", "5 7", "6 4", "6 7", "7 5", "7 6" }; // This is where you configure your job GiraphConfiguration conf = new GiraphConfiguration(); conf.setComputationClass(); conf.setMasterComputeClass(); conf.setEdgeInputFormatClass(); conf.setVertexInputFormatClass(); conf.setVertexOutputFormatClass(); // Run and print results Iterable<String> results = InternalVertexRunner.run(conf, tinyGraph, tinyGraph); for (String result : results) { LOGGER.debug(result); } } Note that the tests will run every time you compile it, unless you specify -DskipTests in the mvn command. Regards, Panagiotis Eustratiadis.
