Hi Ada and Christopher,

After investigating existing openstack test projects, I think we should have:

* separate repo for test cases that are independent from each other. Since they require different instructions for almost everything (install, usage, rules, etc.)

* 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).

Thus I suggest 3 different repositories:

- repo for manual test cases

- repo for robot test cases

- repo for pytest test cases

Inside automated test repository, I would suggest the following structure:

README.rst

LICENSE

setup.py

tox.ini                        # pep8, py27, etc

requirements.txt               # project package requirements

consts/…                      # directory for various constants modules

keywords/…                     # directory for helper modules

testfixtures/                  # directory for commonly used test fixtures modules

testcases/cli/mtc/…            # directory for mtc test cases that is mainly using cli

testcases/cli/heat/…  

testcases/cli/nova/…

testcases/cli/networking/…

testcases/cli/security/…

testcases/cli/storage/…

testcases/cli/sysinv/…

testcases/rest/…               # directory for restAPI test cases

testcases/horizon/…            # directory for horizon test cases

testcases/system_test/…        # directory for complex system test scenarios

Thanks,

Numan
