For the heat grenade job, I've proposed two patches.

1. To run heat tree gabbi api tests as part of grenade 'post-upgrade' phase

2. To remove tempest tests from the grenade job

Yes, the heat gabbi api tests do not yet have the same coverage as the
tempest tree api tests (lacks tests using nova, neutron and swift
resources),  but I think that should not stop us from *not* running the
tempest tests in the grenade job.

I also don't know if the tempest tree heat tests are used by any other
upstream/downstream jobs. We could surely add more tests to bridge the gap.

Also, It's possible to run the heat integration tests (we've enough
coverage there) with tempest plugin after doing some initial setup, as we
do in all our dsvm gate jobs.

It would propose to move tests and client to a Tempest plugin owned /

if I understand correctly, you're proposing moving the existing tempest
tests and service clients to a separate repo managed by heat team. Though
that would be collective decision, I'm not sure that's something I would
like to do. To start with we may look at adding some of the missing pieces
in heat tree itself.
