<div dir="ltr"><div><div><div>it makes sense.<br></div>We have two intersting use cases here:<br></div>-to extend sanity test to validate plugins (see example in my previous email)<br></div>-to extend OSTF test to add pre-deployment check. verify network tests are not enough to ensure that a deployment will be successfull or not. there are lot of other external parameters which can impact the deployment. VMWare credentials as mentionned by sheena is a good example but there is also check DNS, NTP, Netapp credentials , Netapp or NFS server ip is reachable, external Elasticsearch or Influxdb server is reachable (in case of using external servers for LMA) and so one. It would be very interesting to be able to add those tests for core components and plugins. it would help us to ensure user that if your tests are ok so no external elements would interfere with you deployment. it can be a verify settings test as the verify network one<br><br><br></div><div class="gmail_extra"><br><div class="gmail_quote">2015-09-28 11:06 GMT+02:00 Sheena Gregson <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:sgregson@mirantis.com" target="_blank">sgregson@mirantis.com</a>></span>:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"><div link="blue" vlink="purple" lang="EN-US"><div><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Cambria",serif;color:#1f497d">I just realized I missed this thread when Andrey responded to it – apologies!</span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Cambria",serif;color:#1f497d"> </span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Cambria",serif;color:#1f497d">I was thinking of things like – confirming VMware username and password are accurate, confirming that SSL certificate chain is valid, etc. – some of these are not plugin based, but I think there is value in enabling both core components and plugins to specify tests that can be run prior to deployment that will help ensure the deployment will not fail.</span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Cambria",serif;color:#1f497d"> </span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Cambria",serif;color:#1f497d">Does that make sense?
