Hi I have one proposal[1] related to negative tests in Tempest, and hoping opinions before doing that.
Now Tempest contains negative tests and sometimes patches are being posted for adding more negative tests, but I'd like to propose removing them from Tempest instead. Negative tests verify surfaces of REST APIs for each component without any integrations between components. That doesn't seem integration tests which are scope of Tempest. In addition, we need to spend the test operating time on different component's gate if adding negative tests into Tempest. For example, we are operating negative tests of Keystone and more components on the gate of Nova. That is meaningless, so we need to avoid more negative tests into Tempest now. If wanting to add negative tests, it is a nice option to implement these tests on each component repo with Tempest plugin interface. We can avoid operating negative tests on different component gates and each component team can decide what negative tests are valuable on the gate. In long term, all negative tests will be migrated into each component repo with Tempest plugin interface. We will be able to operate valuable negative tests only on each gate. Any thoughts?
