Seems to me, that what you want is to add migration test to 
https://github.com/openstack/tempest/blob/master/tempest/scenario/test_network_advanced_server_ops.py 
This scenario does exactly what you are looking for 
1. check VM connectivity 
2. mess with VM (reboot, resize, or in your case - migrate) 
3. check VM connectivity
