Tell us about your projects as an RSE!
Nice! If you need a testing set, singularity hpc (shpc) installs containers as modules, and has a yaml file that describes all the interactions for each container so your tester could know what to test! https://github.com/singularityhub/singularity-hpc. The only testing we do when adding a new module is indeed just loading it, and it could be much improved.

Software Showcase Sunday
More specifically, singularity registry HPC has container definitions in GitHub, here https://github.com/singularityhub/shpc-registry. Shpc also has an ability to automate generation of a new container recipe (pinging the docker registry, etc) with shpc add https://singularity-hpc.readthedocs.io/en/latest/getting_started/user-guide.html#add-a-registry-container. So I was able to combine these two things into a new workflow that the registry owner can type any Docker URI and get the completed recipe, also with aliases! Here is an example: https://github.com/singularityhub/shpc-registry/pull/10/files
