[openstack-community] Regarding Tempest for Integration testing of Openstack Environment
by Girija Sharan 12 Sep '12

12 Sep '12

Hello, I am trying to do Integration testing of Openstack environmment (Devstack) using Tempest. I have my setup with multi node installation of Devstack i.e. one controller and one compute node. On controller node I am having my Tempest root directory and I have also installed Coverage, Tissue and Openstack-nose as it was mentioned in the setup.cfg file. I have also changed the tempest.conf file according to my localrc file. I am totally new to Tempest and trying to have hand on this. Currently I am running tests in the directory " tempest/tests ". But although most of the tests are OK, I am getting some tests FAILED and in some tests some errors (I have attached a file containing its total output). I am having some issues like : 1). whenever I am running any test I am getting a WARNING. I am running using : ~/tempest$ nosetests -v --with-tissue --tissue-color --with-openstack tempest/tests 2). when I am running entire tempest/tests it is showing total 350 tests, but where are all these tests. I am not finding them anywhere ? 3). when I ran tempest/tests/network and tempest/tests/image individually, I got 0 test results. Don't know why it is so ? 4). I want to understand the test scripts already provided and then to write my own. But I am not getting that from where (which test) I should start because I am new to Python also ? 5). I want to now more about functioning of Tempest and Nose. Could you please suggest me some useful tutorials or links for beginners. I am attaching a file containing the test results on my setup. Thanks and Regards, Girija Sharan Singh
