I'll play devil's advocate here and ask this question before someone 
else does.  I'm assuming that the requirement of a 'full' tempest run 
means running this [1].  Is that correct?  It's just confusing sometimes 
because there are other things in Tempest that aren't in the 'full' run, 
like stress tests.

Assuming that's what 'full' means, it's running API, CLI, third party 
(boto), and scenario tests.  Does it make sense to require a nova virt 
driver's CI to run API tests for keystone, heat and swift?  Or couldn't 
the nova virt driver CI be scoped down to just the compute API tests? 
The argument against that is probably that the network/image/volume 
tests may create instances using nova to do their API testing also.  The 
same would apply for the CLI tests since those are broken down by 
service, i.e. why would I need to run keystone and ceilometer CLI tests 
for a nova virt driver?

If nothing else, I think we could firm up the wording on the wiki a bit 
around the requirements and what that means for scope.
