Other people have replied with the individual user test suites. But 
personally, I believe that users should not have to do the testing. That 
should be done at the VO level. Engagement VO runs tests and advertises 
the result. For swift, the easiest way to get the information is to use:

swift-osg-ress-site-catalog --engage-verified

Compare this with:

swift-osg-ress-site-catalog --vo=engage

The first only returns sites which passed verification last night. The 
latter returns all sites advertising support for Engagement.

I recommend that Engagement users only use the first version, and that 
the site catalog is updated at least daily.
