Hi,
The following patches will really help minesweeper:
1. Treat exceptions that are caused by parallel tests. This enables us to
run parallel jobs (we have very promising results of running 8 parallel
test jobs):
https://review.openstack.org/#/c/70137/
https://review.openstack.org/#/c/65306/
https://review.openstack.org/#/c/69622/
2. Improve test time considerably:
https://review.openstack.org/#/c/70079/
One of the requirements for Nova is that each driver would provide CI that
validate patches. If there was no CI then the driver would be marked as:
- quality warning (for example the Vmware ESX driver) -
https://review.openstack.org/#/c/70850/
- deprecation warning (for example the Xen driver) -
https://review.openstack.org/#/c/71289/
Having met the requirements is the first step in a long and adventurous
road ahead. As we can see from the gate upstream it is really important
that we constantly work on improving the stability of the CI and the
drivers that are being used. I would also like to note that we are
approaching the end of the cycle - there will soon be a mad rush for
gating. If we have stable CI's then we can provide quicker and more
reliable results. Without these we are shooting ourselves in the foot.
Thanks
Gary
