-Refstack-client to run OpenStack interop testcases
---------------------------------------------------
-
-Refstack-client `[8]`_ is a command line utility that allows you to
-execute Tempest test runs based on configurations you specify.
-It is the official tool to run Openstack Interop (previously known as Defcore)
-testcases `[9]`_, which focus on testing interoperability between OpenStack
-clouds.
-
-Refstack-client is integrated in Functest, consumed by Dovetail, which
-intends to define and provide a set of OPNFV related validation criteria
-that will provide input for the evaluation of the use of OPNFV trademarks.
-This progress is under the guideline of Compliance Verification Program(CVP).
-
-Running methods
-^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
-
-Two running methods are provided after refstack-client integrated into
-Functest, Functest command line and manually, respectively.
-
-By default, for Defcore test cases run by Functest command line,
-are run followed with automatically generated
-configuration file, i.e., refstack_tempest.conf. In some circumstances,
-the automatic configuration file may not quite satisfied with the SUT,
-Functest also inherits the refstack-client command line and provides a way
-for users to set its configuration file according to its own SUT manually.
-
-*command line*
-
-Inside the Functest container, first to prepare Functest environment:
-
-::
-
- functest env prepare
-
-then to run default defcore testcases by using refstack-client:
-
-::
-
- functest testcase run refstack_defcore
-
-In OPNFV Continuous Integration(CI) system, the command line method is used.
-
-*manually*
-
-Prepare the tempest configuration file and the testcases want to run with the
-SUT, run the testcases with:
-
-::
-
- ./refstack-client test -c <Path of the tempest configuration file to use> -v --test-list <Path or URL of test list>
-
-using help for more information:
-
-::
-
- ./refstack-client --help
- ./refstack-client test --help
-
-Reference tempest configuration
-^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
-
-*command line method*
-
-When command line method is used, the default tempest configuration file
-is generated by Rally.
-
-*manually*
-
-When running manually is used, recommended way to generate tempest
-configuration file is:
-
-::
-
- cd /usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/functest/opnfv_tests/openstack/refstack_client
- python tempest_conf.py
-
-a file called tempest.conf is stored in the current path by default, users can
-do some adjustment according to the SUT:
-
-::
-
- vim refstack_tempest.conf
-
-a reference article can be used `[15]`_.
