Galaxy clusters probe both the expansion and the rate of growth of structure in the universe. When combined with the results of Type Ia supernovae and baryon acoustic oscillations, and in conjunction with weak lensing, the statistical counting of galaxy clusters will enable tight constraints on the cosmological parameters which describe our Universe. In order to use these cluster counts, we must understand how the clusters are selected, how to measure their masses, and how to statistically compare the counts against the cosmological models. The Dark Energy Survey Cluster Working Group is tackling these issues using a suite of mock galaxy catalogs which closely resemble what will actually be observed for the Dark Energy Survey. Based on these mocks, we present how we are able to fully develop, tune, and test our clustering algorithms, mass calibrations techniques, and cosmological codes prior to any photons entering the Dark Energy Camera.
