<p class="MsoNormal">Hi Ada and Christopher,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">After investigating existing openstack test projects, I think we should have:<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">* separate repo for test cases that are independent from each other. Since they require different instructions for almost everything (install, usage, rules, etc.)<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">* one repo for one auto project. Subrepos are not recommended due to complicity involved in updating common libraries(keywords, fixtures, etc.) and their usages(test cases).
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Thus I suggest 3 different repositories:<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">- repo for manual test cases<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">- repo for robot test cases<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">- repo for pytest test cases<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Inside automated test repository, I would suggest the following structure:<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">README.rst<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">LICENSE<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">setup.py<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">tox.ini # pep8, py27, etc<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">requirements.txt # project package requirements<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">consts/… # directory for various constants modules<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">keywords/… # directory for helper modules<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">testfixtures/ # directory for commonly used test fixtures modules<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">testcases/cli/mtc/… # directory for mtc test cases that is mainly using cli<o:p></o:p></p>
