Grids have the potential to revolutionize computing by providing ubiquitous, on demand access to computational services and resources. However, grid systems are extremely large, complex and prone to failures. In this paper we present a tool able to to check if a given grid service works as expected for a given user or set of users on the different resources available on a grid. Our solution deals with the grid services as single components that should produce an expected output to a pre-defined input, what is quite similar to unit testing. Our tool, called Service Availability Monitoring or SAM, is being currently used to monitor some of the largest (maybe the largest) production grids available today.
