Testbeds Support for Reproducible Research

In the context of experimental research, testbeds play an important role in enabling reproducibility of experiments, by providing a set of services that help experiments with setting up the experimental environment, and collecting data about it. This paper explores the status of three different testbeds (Chameleon, CloudLab and Grid’5000) regarding features required for, or related to reproducible research, and discusses some open questions on that topic.
