At the last 2 summits, I've suggested that API tests could be maintained in the 
Neutron tree and reused by Tempest.  I've finally submitted some patches that 
demonstrate this concept:

https://review.openstack.org/#/c/72585/  (implements a unit test for the 
lifecycle of the network resource)
https://review.openstack.org/#/c/72588/  (runs the test with tempest rest 
clients)

My hope is to make API test maintenance a responsibility of the Neutron team.  
The API compatibility of each Neutron plugin has to be validated by Neutron 
tests anyway, and if the tests are structured as I am proposing, Tempest can 
reuse those efforts rather than duplicating them.

I've added this topic to this week's agenda, and I would really appreciate it 
interested parties would take a look at the patches in question to prepare 
themselves to participate in the discussion.
