Implement OTE Interface in Hive

Summary

This draft PR introduces initial support for the OpenShift Test Extension (OTE) interface in the Hive component.

Scope

• Add OTE interface support in Hive to expose tests via the standard framework.
• Ensure migrated QE test cases are runnable through this interface.
• Enable CI pipelines to detect and run Hive tests automatically using OTE.
• ...

Preliminary Work and Investigation Results

• Investigated Hive’s existing e2e test framework and evaluated OTE compatibility.
• Drafted initial implementation code for OTE integration (details TBD).
• Added initial Dockerfile changes to package the Hive test extension binary (build process not yet validated).
• Added a minimal placeholder test under test/e2e/aws/ as a starting point. This also serves as a proposal to organize platform-specific Hive e2e tests into dedicated directories (e.g., aws/, azure/, gcp/, vSphere/, OpenStack/). Such structure would enhance maintainability and enable more targeted OTE-based test discovery.
• ...

Next Steps

• Coordinate with the Hive development team to define a directory structure for Dev and QE e2e test cases within the repository. This includes determining appropriate locations, naming conventions, and labels to support maintainability and OTE test discovery.
• Continue refining the OTE interface implementation by validating with a placeholder test and addressing any gaps.
• Add an initial QE e2e test case to the Hive repository to validate and drive refinement of the drafted OTE interface implementation. Executing this case will help iteratively uncover and address integration gaps—such as discovery logic, metadata conventions, and test execution flow—until the interface is fully functional within CI.
• Migrate QE test cases from openshift-tests-private to Hive repo.
• Test full CI pipeline integration to confirm automatic execution and result reporting.
• ...
