Re: [openstack-dev] [tempest][scenario] independece test between Stack and backing services?
Fault injection is a problem I've been thinking about, though I don't have time to dive into it any time soon. But I'll share my ideas in case they are interesting. I think we need a Fault Injection Service for OpenStack. It would act like many of the other OpenStack services, have an API service, and a worker on every node. It would be our own kind of chaos monkey, except very programmable. It would look like any multi host service, communicating over RPC between API and the nodes. The Fault injection service would have the ability to kill process on the hosts (libvirt, nova-compute, c-vol). It would also have the ability to delete did data (simulating a hardware fault). We could definitely use something like this to also signal a service restart, or some other behind the scenes action that we'd expect would be regularly happening. If we had a Fault Injection service, then we could have a class of tests (possibly in Tempest, possibly in another place) which would start resources with the OpenStack API, then inject faults, then continue along the way. I feel like Juno is too soon for this, as we have lots of other issues to address. However, K might work. That being said, if anyone wants to dive in early, have at. The important thing would be that this has REST API, and that it be multi node. -Sean On 04/02/2014 04:37 AM, Tomoya Goto wrote: Hello, Igawa-san Thanks for pointing out Tempest principles.

Re: [openstack-dev] [tempest][scenario] independece test between Stack and backing services?
Hi Sean, I'm already working on something similar. What I'm trying to do is not a service, but a set of tests that would be able to run commands on the nodes and restart services, kill disks, etc. The basic idea is to inject some fault, see if everything still works as expected and restore the state back to what it was before the fault. So far I only have some basic tests for Swift, but I'm planning more. The state restoration is going to be via snapshots (so it will have to be running in VMs, or I could add support for LVM snapshots too) . The project is called DestroyStack and is located here: https://github.com/mkollaro/destroystack/tree/devel It's still WIP, please don't try to run it yet, not everything is implemented. I'm currently trying to create that demo.

Re: [openstack-dev] [tempest][scenario] independece test between Stack and backing services?
Good stuff. I like the semantics of what the destroy stack tests look like, very clean. I still think there would be value in doing this as a API service, which would let you decouple the test cases (and even put them in Tempest), as the tests could just assume certain fault semantics, and the implementation (which could even start with the ssh to nodes approach) would be left to the fault service. Do you think this would be an interesting evolution of destroystack, or is that different enough in goals that we should think about this problem separately. -Sean On 04/02/2014 08:55 AM, Martina Kollarova wrote: Hi Sean, I'm already working on something similar.

This would still leave some problems that would make it difficult to add these tests into Tempest. First, to check if if some things are working beyond some basic yep, it sent back 200, you need access to the nodes. For example, when I'm testing Swift, I check if there are 3 replicas of each object by looking into the internals a bit - there is no API for this and I wouldn't trust it even if there was. Another problem would be test isolation - how would you do test clean-up in Tempest if you don't have access to the servers and cannot even start up a service? You would need a full OpenStack management service (could TripleO somehow do this?). But it would be interesting...the first implementation of Daas - Destruction as a Service.
