Tests that would cover full +on-metal provisioning and a result - actual partition scheme / image applied +to the node + +Proposed change +=============== + +NOTE: This is a contribution of the feature developed within Cray OpenStack project. +We will try to make a minimum changes to existing code. + +We are adding the new framework "bareon-func-test" to allow writing such kind +of tests. This is a virsh-based tool that allows to walk through the full +provisioning cycle and read the results from the node at each step. An overview +of the framework can be found at [1] + +The framework will reside in a separate repo called "bareon-func-test". + +Functional tests, as well as node templates, provision.json templates (if any) +are stored in the bareon tree (bareon/tests_functional/). The main idea behind +this is that you can commit the new piece of functionality together with funcitonal +tests covering it, and it's easier to track in CI. + +We are also adding a set of tests covering: + - partitioning operations on Ironic data driver + - lvm operations on Ironic data driver + - full provisioning on both swift/rsync deploy drivers and Ironic data driver. + +Since the framework requires a ramdisk to run, test integration also includes +a job to build a ramdisk from the current repo, and a tox env that manages +build/test-run. + +Alternatives +------------ + +None. + +Implementation +============== + +Assignee(s) +----------- + +- max_lobur + +Milestones +---------- + +See blueprint ref above. + +Work Items +---------- + +- rebase onto Bareon master. + + +Dependencies +============ + +- rsync image deployment + +Links +===== + +[1] http://www.slideshare.net/MaxLobur/bareon-functional-testing-ci-58066411 \ No newline at end of file
