<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D">Top posting… I believe the main issue was a problem with snapshots that caused false negatives for most cinder drivers. But, that got fixed. Unfortunately,
we haven’t yet established a good process to notify third parties when skipped tests are fixed and should be “unskipped”. Maybe tagging the tests can help on this. But, I really do think this round was a bit of first run gotchas and rookie mistakes on all
sides. A good post mortem on how to better communicate changes and deadlines may go a long way to smooth these out in the next round.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Courier New"">This may have already been raised/discussed, but I'm kinda confused so thought I'd ask on the ML here. The whole point of third party CI as I recall was to run the same tests that we run in the official
Gate against third party drivers. To me that would imply that a CI system/device that marks itself as "GOOD" doesn't do things like add skips locally that aren't in the tempest code already?<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Courier New"">Did I miss something, isn't the whole point of Third Party CI to demonstrate that a third parties backend is tested and functions to the same degree that the reference implementations do? So the goal
(using Cinder for example) was to be able to say that any API call that works on the LVM reference driver will work on the drivers listed in driverlog; and that we know this because they run the same Tempest API tests?<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Courier New"">Don't get me wrong, certainly not saying there's malice or things should be marked as no good... but if the practice is to skip what you can't do then maybe that should be documented in the driverlog
submission, as opposed to just stating "Yeah, we run CI successfully".<o:p></o:p></span></p>
