Versuchung is a toolbox for reproducible research. It automates the execution of scripted experiment workflows, while keeping track of input parameters, output parameters, and the resulting datasets.

Experiments, which are expressed as python scripts, can be chained: The output parameter of one experiment can be used as an input parameter for another experiment. During the whole work-flow, versuchung keeps track of all input parameters and condeses the information into a SHA1 sum that identifies the resulting dataset.
