Hello guys!

I hope all of you are enjoying the holidays! But I'd like to raise a Tempest question. Again. I hope this email will not be lost after vacations :) After the summit we decided to track all tests that are being created for Ceilometer in Tempest here: https://blueprints.launchpad.net/tempest/+spec/add-basic-ceilometer-tests. Besides, we've created an etherpad page with a test plan https://etherpad.openstack.org/p/ceilometer-test-plan.

But it turned out that it works very bad. Now we have at least 3 change requests that have common functionality implemented. So we definitely need more reliable mechanism for tracking any changes. That's why I suggest to create a separate blueprint for each functionality. E.g. "Ceilometer client for Tempest", "Notification testing" with several bps that depend on it ("Swift notifications", "Glance notifications", "Nova notifications") and so on. In future we may vary the detail level of blueprints but now we need very detailed ones because different people have started to work on e.g. notifications.
So there are the following action items:
1. Resolve all conflicts in changes that are on review now (see my comment to https://review.openstack.org/#/c/39237/ patch set 21 for more details)
2. Create set of blueprints from the testplan we have
3. Add Tempest discussions to Ceilometer weekly meeting agenda (done)

I may take care of all the items above. I need only "ok" from PTLs and Cores. Anyway, we've started working on 1st item, because it is urgent. The second one may be postponed due to holidays.

And one more important thing. Code review for Ceilometer tests in Tempest is too slow. Some of change requests are created almost a half a year ago! Ceilometer guys, please be informed. I think all of us are interested in good tests.

Thank you for attention,
Nadya
Thanks, Nadya. A similar issue came up with heat. The problem is that tempest really has two parts: the tempest infrastructure itself, and all the test files for the various projects. The tempest team needs to manage its blueprints and we can't do that if there are dozens of blueprints about test implementation across projects. This problem is exacerbated by the fact that launchpad is not a good tool for project management which is the issue you are dealing with. For now, the best thing would be to have a master blueprint in tempest. If you want it to point to sub-blueprints for various test areas, use blueprints in the ceilometer project rather than tempest.
