<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-CA">Hi Ada and Christopher,<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-CA"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-CA">After investigating existing openstack test projects, I think we should have:<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-CA">* separate repo for test cases that are independent from each other. Since they require different instructions for almost everything (install, usage, rules, etc.)<span style="color:#1F497D"><o:p></o:p></span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-CA">* 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></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-CA" style="color:#1F497D"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-CA" style="color:#1F497D">I think having 3 different repositories can become hard to maintain, also could be confusing for people who is contributing to the project.
<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-CA" style="color:#1F497D"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-CA" style="color:#1F497D">Maybe we can consolidate all in one repo divided by directories , below an example:
<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-CA" style="color:#1F497D">-> stx-test <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:5.5pt"><span lang="EN-CA" style="color:#1F497D"> - manual-tests<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:5.5pt"><span lang="EN-CA" style="color:#1F497D"> - automated-tests<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:5.5pt"><span lang="EN-CA" style="color:#1F497D"> - robot-suite<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-CA" style="color:#1F497D"> - pytets-suite<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-CA" style="color:#1F497D"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-CA">Thus I suggest 3 different repositories:<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-CA">- repo for manual test cases<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-CA" style="color:#1F497D">- Is this section going to have actual scripts or just Test Specifications (preconditions, steps and expected result) in a plain text?
<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-CA">- repo for robot test cases<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-CA">- repo for pytest test cases<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-CA" style="color:#1F497D"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-CA"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-CA">Inside automated test repository, I would suggest the following structure:<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-CA"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-CA">README.rst<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-CA">LICENSE<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-CA">setup.py<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-CA">tox.ini # pep8, py27, etc<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-CA">requirements.txt # project package requirements<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-CA">consts/… # directory for various constants modules<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-CA">keywords/… # directory for helper modules<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-CA">testfixtures/ # directory for commonly used test fixtures modules<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-CA">testcases/cli/mtc/… # directory for mtc test cases that is mainly using cli<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-CA">testcases/cli/heat/… <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-CA">testcases/cli/nova/…<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-CA">testcases/cli/networking/…<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-CA">testcases/cli/security/…<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-CA">testcases/cli/storage/…<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-CA">testcases/cli/sysinv/…<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-CA">testcases/rest/… # directory for restAPI test cases<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-CA">testcases/horizon/… # directory for horizon test cases<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-CA">testcases/system_test/… # directory for complex system test scenarios<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-CA" style="color:#1F497D"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-CA" style="color:#1F497D">Agree with this structure inside of the automated test suites.
<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-CA" style="color:#1F497D"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-CA">Thanks,<o:p></o:p></span></p>
