Tempest has batteries of tests for OpenStack API validation, Scenarios, and other specific tests useful in validating an OpenStack deployment. Alongside with the tempest project, this snap also includes the currently maintained tempest plugins, the python-tempestconf package and several curated test lists to provide ease of use. The python-tempestconf package provides `discover-tempest-config` command line application that automatically generates a tempest configuration appropriate for your cloud. **Note**: Tempest workspace initialized by different versions of the snap cannot be shared. If you refresh or revert tempest snap, you must re-initialized the workspace using the refreshed or reverted snap, or manually update the `test_path` and `top_dir` in `.stestr.conf` to the correct path. **Plugins** --- The snap provides all the plugins listed in the OpenStack release notes and those cannot be removed or updated. Currently, it is not possible to add new plugins or use your own. List of plugins: * barbican-tempest-plugin * blazar-tempest-plugin * cinder-tempest-plugin * cloudkitty-tempest-plugin * cyborg-tempest-plugin * designate-tempest-plugin * ec2api-tempest-plugin * freezer-tempest-plugin * glance-tempest-plugin * heat-tempest-plugin * ironic-tempest-plugin * keystone-tempest-plugin * kuryr-tempest-plugin * magnum-tempest-plugin * manila-tempest-plugin * mistral-tempest-tests * monasca-tempest-plugin * murano-tempest-plugin * neutron-tempest-plugin * octavia-tempest-plugin * oswin-tempest-plugin * sahara-tests * senlin-tempest-plugin * solum-tempest-plugin * telemetry-tempest-plugin * trove-tempest-plugin * venus-tempest-plugin * vitrage-tempest-plugin * watcher-tempest-plugin * zaqar-tempest-plugin * zun-tempest-plugin **Quickstart** --- Running the tempest smoke suite against a deployed OpenStack cloud would look like this. ``` # Install the tempest snap sudo snap install tempest # Have the cloud credentials in the environment source novarc # Initialize a tempest workspace directory called cloud-01 tempest init cloud-01 cd cloud-01 # Generate the tempest configuration specific to the cloud # use `--create` flag if resources like flavors needs to be created discover-tempest-config # Run the tempest smoke suite tempest run --smoke ``` For more information please refer to the Tempest QuickStart and python-tempestconf documentation. **Test Lists** --- The tempest snap provides a set of pre-defined test lists with different profiles and a mechanism to specify them easily. The `@BUILTIN_TESTLISTS` keyword will be automatically replaced by the full path of the directory storing the built-in test lists. **Note**: the single-quotation marks around the test list file path is required if the `@BUILTIN_TESTLISTS` keyword is used (in other words, when running tempest with a built-in test list file). Failure to do so will result in a wrong path error. **readonly-quick** For quickly verifying the behavior of the target cloud and making sure tempest is correctly set up ``` tempest run --load-list '@BUILTIN_TESTLISTS/readonly-quick' ``` **refstack-2022.11** Version 2022.11 of the RefStack guidelines. The list includes the required and advisory tests of all platforms. ``` tempest run --load-list '@BUILTIN_TESTLISTS/refstack-2022.11' ``` **Links** --- OpenStack Release Notes python-tempestconf `discover-tempest-config` Tempest QuickStart RefStack --- ## Install tempest on your Linux distribution Choose your Linux distribution to get detailed installation instructions.
