+
+Tempest basics in Networking projects
+-------------------------------------
+Tempest is the integration test suite of Openstack, for details see
+`Tempest Testing Project <https://docs.openstack.org/tempest/latest/>`_.
+
+Tempest makes it possible to add project-specific plugins, and for networking
+this is `neutron-tempest-plugin <https://opendev.org/openstack/neutron-tempest-plugin>`_.
+
+neutron-tempest-plugin covers API and scenario tests not just for core Neutron
+functionality, but for stadium projects as well.
+For reference please read `Testing Neutron\'s related sections <testing.html#api-tests>`_
+
+API Tests
+~~~~~~~~~
+
+API tests (neutron-tempest-plugin/neutron_tempest_plugin/api/) are
+intended to ensure the function
+and stability of the Neutron API. As much as possible, changes to
+this path should not be made at the same time as changes to the code
+to limit the potential for introducing backwards-incompatible changes,
+although the same patch that introduces a new API should include an API
+test.
+
+Since API tests target a deployed Neutron daemon that is not test-managed,
+they should not depend on controlling the runtime configuration
+of the target daemon. API tests should be black-box - no assumptions should
+be made about implementation. Only the contract defined by Neutron's REST API
+should be validated, and all interaction with the daemon should be via
+a REST client.
+
+The neutron-tempest-plugin/neutron_tempest_plugin directory was copied from the
+Tempest project around the Kilo timeframe. At the time, there was an overlap of tests
+between the Tempest and Neutron repositories. This overlap was then eliminated by carving
+out a subset of resources that belong to Tempest, with the rest in Neutron.
+
+API tests that belong to Tempest deal with a subset of Neutron's resources:
+
+* Port
+* Network
+* Subnet
+* Security Group
+* Router
+* Floating IP
+
+These resources were chosen for their ubiquity. They are found in most
+Neutron deployments regardless of plugin, and are directly involved in the
+networking and security of an instance. Together, they form the bare minimum
+needed by Neutron.
+
+This is excluding extensions to these resources (For example: Extra DHCP
+options to subnets, or snat_gateway mode to routers) that are not mandatory
+in the majority of cases.
+
+Tests for other resources should be contributed to the neutron-tempest-plugin
+repository. Scenario tests should be similarly split up between Tempest and
+Neutron according to the API they're targeting.
+
+To create an API test, the testing class must at least inherit from
+neutron_tempest_plugin.api.base.BaseNetworkTest base class. As some of tests
+may require certain extensions to be enabled, the base class provides
+``required_extensions`` class attribute which can be used by subclasses to
+define a list of required extensions for a particular test class.
+
+Scenario Tests
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+Scenario tests (neutron-tempest-plugin/neutron_tempest_plugin/scenario), like API tests,
+use the Tempest test infrastructure and have the same requirements. Guidelines for
+writing a good scenario test may be found at the Tempest developer guide:
+https://docs.openstack.org/tempest/latest/field_guide/scenario.html
+
+Scenario tests, like API tests, are split between the Tempest and Neutron
+repositories according to the Neutron API the test is targeting.
+
+Some scenario tests require advanced ``Glance`` images (for example, ``Ubuntu``
+or ``CentOS``) in order to pass. Those tests are skipped by default. To enable
+them, include the following in ``tempest.conf``:
+
+.. code-block:: ini
+
+ [compute]
+ image_ref = <uuid of advanced image>
+ [neutron_plugin_options]
+ default_image_is_advanced = True
+
+To use the ``advanced image`` only for the tests that really need it and
+``cirros`` for the rest to keep test execution as fast as possible:
+
+.. code-block:: ini
+
+ [compute]
+ image_ref = <uuid of cirros image>
+ [neutron_plugin_options]
+ advanced_image_ref = <uuid of advanced image>
+ advanced_image_flavor_ref = <suitable flavor for the advance image>
+ advanced_image_ssh_user = <username for the advanced image>
+
+Specific test requirements for advanced images are:
+
+#. ``test_trunk`` requires ``802.11q`` kernel module loaded.
+#. ``test_metadata`` requires capabilty to run ``curl`` for IPv6 addresses.
+#. ``test_multicast`` needs to execute python script on the VM to open
+ multicast sockets.
+#. ``test_mtu`` requires ping to be able to send packets with specific ``mtu``.
+
+Zuul basics & job structure
+---------------------------
+Zuul is the gating system behind Openstack, for details see:
+`Zuul - A Project Gating System <https://zuul-ci.org/docs/zuul/>`_.
+
+Zuul job definitions are in yaml, ansible in the depths. The job definitions can be
+inherited. Networking projects job definitions parents are coming from
+`devstack zuul job config <https://opendev.org/openstack/devstack/src/branch/master/.zuul.yaml>`_
+and from `tempest <https://opendev.org/openstack/tempest/src/branch/master/tempest>`_
+and defined in `neutron-tempest-plugin zuul.d folder <https://opendev.org/openstack/neutron-tempest-plugin/src/branch/master/zuul.d>`_
+and in `neutron zuul.d folder <https://opendev.org/openstack/neutron/src/branch/master/zuul.d>`_ .
+
+Where to look
+-------------
+
+Debugging zuul results
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+Tempest executed with different configurations,
+for details check this page
+:ref:`Tempest jobs running in Neutron CI<ci_jobs>`
+
+When zuul reports back job results to a review it gives links to the results
+as well.
+
+The logs can be checked online if you select ``Logs`` tab on the logs page.
+
+* ``job-output.txt`` is the full log which contains not just test execution
+ logs, but devstack console output.
+* ``test_results.html`` is the clickable html test report.
+* ``controller`` and ``compute`` (in case of multinode job) are a dictionary
+ tree containing the relevant files (configuration files, logs etc)
+ created in the job. For example under controller/logs/etc/neutron/ you can
+ check how Neutron services were configured, or in the file
+ controller/logs/tempest_conf.txt you can check tempest configuration file.
+* services' log files are the in files ``controller/logs/screen-`*`.txt``,
+ so for example neutron l2 agent logs are in the file
+ controller/logs/screen-q-agt.txt.
+
+Downloading logs
+++++++++++++++++
+There is a possibility to download all logs related to a job.
+
+If you choose this on the zuul logs page select ``Artifacts`` tab on the
+logs page and click on ``Download all logs``. This will download a script
+``download-logs.sh``, which when executed downloads all the logs for the job
+under ``/tmp/``:
+
+.. code-block:: shell
+
+ $ chmod +x download-logs.sh
+ $ ./download-logs.sh

+
+Executing tempest locally
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+For executing tempest locally you need a working devstack, to make it worse
+if you have to debug a test executed in a multinode job you need a multinode
+setup as well.
+
+For devstack documentation please refer to this page:
+`DevStack <https://docs.openstack.org/devstack/latest/>`_
+
+To have tempest installed and have a proper configuration file for it in your
+local.conf file enable tempest as service:
+
+.. code-block:: ini
+
+ ENABLED_SERVICES+=tempest
+
+or
+
+.. code-block:: ini
+
+ enable_service tempest
+
+To use specific config options for tempest you can add those as well to
+local.conf:
+
+.. code-block:: ini
+
+ [[test-config|/opt/stack/tempest/etc/tempest.conf]]
+ [network-feature-enabled]
+ qos_placement_physnet=physnet1
+
+To make devstack setup neutron and neutron-tempest-plugin as well enable their
+devstack plugin:
+
+.. code-block:: ini
+
+ enable_plugin neutron https://opendev.org/openstack/neutron
+ enable_plugin neutron-tempest-plugin https://opendev.org/openstack/neutron-tempest-plugin
+
+If you need a special image for the tests you can set that too in local.conf:
+
+.. code-block:: ini
+
+ IMAGE_URLS="http://download.cirros-cloud.net/0.3.4/cirros-0.3.4-i386-disk.img,https://cloud-images.ubuntu.com/releases/bionic/release/ubuntu-18.04-server-cloudimg-amd64.img"
+ ADVANCED_IMAGE_NAME=ubuntu-18.04-server-cloudimg-amd64
+ ADVANCED_INSTANCE_TYPE=ds512M
+ ADVANCED_INSTANCE_USER=ubuntu
+
+If devstack succeeds you can find tempest and neutron-tempest-plugin under
+``/opt/stack/`` directory (with all other project folders which are set to be
+installed from git).
+
+Tempest's configuration file is under ``/opt/stack/tempest/etc/`` folder, you
+can check there if everything is as expected.
+
+You can check if neutron-tempest-plugin is known as a tempest plugin by
+tempest:
+
+.. code-block:: shell
+
+ $ tempest list-plugins
+ +---------------------------------+------------------------------------------------------------+
+ | Name | EntryPoint |
+ +---------------------------------+------------------------------------------------------------+
+ | neutron_tests | neutron_tempest_plugin.plugin:NeutronTempestPlugin |
+ +---------------------------------+------------------------------------------------------------+
+
+To execute a given test or group of tests you can use a regex, or you can use
+the idempotent id of a test or the tag associated with the test:
+
+.. code-block:: shell
+
+ tempest run --config etc/tempest.conf --regex tempest.scenario
+ tempest run --config etc/tempest.conf --regex neutron_tempest_plugin.scenario
+ tempest run --config etc/tempest.conf smoke
+ tempest run --config etc/tempest.conf ab40fc48-ca8d-41a0-b2a3-f6679c847bfe
