+Tempest Field Guide
+-----------
+
+Tempest is designed to be useful for a large number of different
+environments. This includes being useful for gating commits to
+OpenStack core projects, being used to validate OpenStack cloud
+implementations for both correctness, as well as a burn in tool for
+OpenStack clouds.
+
+As such Tempest tests come in many flavors, each with their own rules
+and guidelines. Below is the proposed Havana restructuring for Tempest
+to make this clear.
+
+tempest/
+   3rdparty/ - 3rd party api tests
+   api/ - API tests
+   cli/ - CLI tests
+   scenario/ - complex scenario tests
+   stress/ - stress tests
+   whitebox/ - white box testing
+
+Each of these directories contains different types of tests. What
+belongs in each directory, the rules and examples for good tests, are
+documented in a README.rst file in the directory.
+
+
+3rdparty
+------------
+
+Many openstack components include 3rdparty API support. It is
+completely legitmate for Tempest to include tests of 3rdparty APIs,
+but those should be kept seperate from the normal OpenStack
+validation.
+
+TODO: tempest/tests/boto should become tempest/3rdparty/boto
+
+
+api
+------------
+
+API tests are validation tests for the OpenStack API. They should not
+use the existing python clients for OpenStack, but should instead use
+the tempest implementations of clients. This allows us to test both
+XML and JSON. Having raw clients also lets us pass invalid JSON and
+XML to the APIs and see the results, something we could not get with
+the native clients.
+
+When it makes sense, API testing should be moved closer to the
+projects themselves, possibly as functional tests in their unit test
+frameworks.
+
+TODO: The bulk of tempest/tests should move to tempest/api
+
+
+cli
+------------
+
+CLI tests use the openstack CLI to interact with the OpenStack
+cloud. CLI testing in unit tests is somewhat difficult because unlike
+server testing, there is no access to server code to
+instantiate. Tempest seems like a logical place for this, as it
+prereqs having a running OpenStack cloud.
+
+TODO: the top level cli directory moves to tempest/cli
+
+
+scenario
+------------
+
+Scenario tests are complex "through path" tests for OpenStack
+functionality. They are typically a series of steps where complicated
+state requiring multiple services is set up exercised, and torn down.
+
+Scenario tests can and should use the OpenStack python clients.
+
+TODO: tests/network/test_network_basic_ops.py,
+tests/compute/servers/*_ops.py should move to tempest/scenario (others)
+
+
+stress
+-----------
+
+Stress tests are designed to stress an OpenStack environment by
+running a high workload against it and seeing what breaks. Tools may
+be provided to help detect breaks (stack traces in the logs).
+
+TODO: old stress tests deleted, new_stress that david is working on
+moves into here.
+
+
+whitebox
+----------
+
+Whitebox tests are tests which require access to the database of the
+target OpenStack machine to verify internal state after opperations
+are made. White box tests are allowed to use the python clients.
+
+TODO: collect out whitebox tests to this location.
