Chapter 1. Introduction


As OpenStack consists of many different projects, it is important to test the interoperability of the projects within your OpenStack cluster. The OpenStack Integration Test Suite (tempest) automates the integration testing of your Red Hat OpenStack Platform deployment. Running tests ensures that your cluster is working as expected, and can also provide early warning of potential problems, especially after an upgrade.

The Integration Test Suite contains tests for OpenStack API validation and scenario testing, as well as unit testing for self-validation. The Integration Test Suite performs black box testing using the OpenStack public APIs, with tempest as the test runner.
