Open Stack

Hi, Timur.

Check out [1].   Boris Pavlovic has been working towards what you want for more than a full release cycle.  There are still major issues to be conquered, but having something that gets us part of the way there and can identify what can’t be determined so that the humans have only a subset to work out would be a great first step.

There are also other reviews out there that need to come together to really make this work.  And projects that would be the better for it (Refstack and Rally).  These are [2] allowing Tempest tests to run as non-admin, [3] making Tempest pluggable, [4] refactoring the client manager to be more flexible.

I think some others may have merged already.  The  bottom line is to refactor tempest such that there is a test server with the necessary tools and components to make it work, and a tempest lib such that writing tests can benefit from common procedures.

Enjoy the reading.

Subject: [openstack-dev] [tempest] [devstack] Generic scripts for Tempest configuration

Hi all,
we are using Tempest tests to verify every changes in different OpenStack components and we have scripts in devstack, which allow to configure Tempest.
We want to use Tempest tests to verify different clouds, not only installed with devstack and to do this we need to configure Tempest manually (or with some no-generic scripts, which allow to configure tempest for specific lab configuration).
Looks like we can improve these scripts for configuration of the Tempest, which we have in devstack repository now and create generic scripts for Tempest, which can be used by devstack scripts or manually, to configure Tempest for any private/public OpenStack clouds. These scripts should allow to easily configure Tempest: user should provide only Keystone endpoint and logins/passwords, other parameters can be optional and can be configured automatically.

The idea is to have the generic scripts, which will allow to easily configure Tempest from-the-box, without deep inspection of lab configuration (but with the ability to change optional parameters too, if it is required).
