How to test and run samples

• If you built Airavata from source, and if you see "BUILD SUCCESS", then the test cases should have passes.
• The test cases are beyond unit level, they startup embedded services and run through basic workflow use cases.
• To walk through Airavata features, follow "XBAYA Quick-Start Tutorial" tutorial at https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/AIRAVATA/XBAYA+Quick-Start+Tutorial.
• For advanced use cases, please contact mailing lists - http://airavata.apache.org/community/mailing-lists.html
