Please do not call this the test plan for Swift - that suggests that you 
are testing all of Swift. This is the test plan for some specific parts of 
Swift, that you list in '2. Features'.

For credential based testing, I also care about plain gram2 execution; and 
plain gt4 execution.

The local condor and PBS providers need ongoing testing too.

The main thing that has stopped me running tests there is getting a 
credential there. So the tests that run on NMI are basically the tests 
that do not require a credential.

If you figure out how credentials should work, then it is a small change 
to the NMI build configuration to make all of the site tests run.

This is the main (only?) thing that has stopped credential-based testing 
on NMI.

You cannot test the local PBS and condor providers on NMI because you need 
to run on a machine with PBS and/or condor installed locally.

You can run globus commands and check if they succeed. But those will need 
separate configuration as they cannot read from sites.xml, so that might 
not be worth the effort.
