That bug report is about improving Cinder's unit testing coverage, so DevStack isn't really needed or involved at all, though it can still be helpful as an example deployment of Cinder along with other OpenStack services with which it interacts. For this particular task though, you just need to be able to locally run unit tests (preferably with the `tox` utility), and then create more of them. You can do that pretty much anywhere you have a POSIX (Linux/Unix) shell account and the ability to install some packages Cinder or its tests depend on. You've probably already seen the overall OpenStack Contributor Guide, but you may have missed that the Cinder team maintains guidance more specific to their subproject here which covers things like unit tests in greater detail: https://docs.openstack.org/cinder/latest/contributor/ You can also seek assistance from other Cinder contributors in the #openstack-cinder channel on the OFTC IRC network, which may be a quicker way to get answers to some of your questions. -- Jeremy Stanley
