CHI Tempest Smoke Tests

This repos contains configuration and tooling to execute tempest integration tests against production sites.

Inputs

we assume that we start with a list of sites to test, such as uc_dev, uc_prod, kvm_prod, ...

To test a site, we need to provide the following config files:

• accounts.yaml file # this defines a list of non-admin users that tempest will use to connect to the site
• tempest.conf file # this defines properties of the site that tempest needs to configure tests, such as what features are enabled/disabled, uuids of images and networks to use,...

And the following inputs to configure which tests to run:

• include_list # a text file, each line define a regex of tests to run
• exclude_list # a text file, each line defines a rexex of tests to exclude

the exclude list takes priority over the include list.

execution flow

when we want to run tempest tests, we'll do the following

1. create a temporary tempest "workspace"
2. copy the provided accounts.yaml and tempest.conf files into the workspace (with minimal templating so that the corect paths are populated in tempest conf)
3. copy include_list and exclude_list into the workspace
