+How To Implement Microversion Tests
+===================================

+Tempest provides stable interfaces to test API Microversion.
+For Details, see: `API Microversion testing Framework`_
+This document explains how to implement Microversion tests using those
+interfaces.
+
+.. _API Microversion testing Framework: http://docs.openstack.org/developer/tempest/library/api_microversion_testing.html
+
+
+Configuration options for Microversion
+""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""
+
+* Add configuration options for specifying test target Microversions.
+  We need to specify test target Microversions because the supported
+  Microversions may be different between OpenStack clouds. For operating
+  multiple Microversion tests in a single Tempest operation, configuration
+  options should represent the range of test target Microversions.
+  New configuration options are:
+  * min_microversion
+  * max_microversion
+
+  Those should be defined under respective section of each service.
+  For example::
+      [compute]
+      min_microversion = None
+      max_microversion = latest

+
+How To Implement Microversion Tests
+"""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""
+
+Step1: Add skip logic based on configured Microversion range
+''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''
+
+Add logic to skip the tests based on Tests class and configured Microversion
+range.
+api_version_utils.check_skip_with_microversion function can be used
+to automatically skip the tests which do not fall under configured
+Microversion range.
+For example::
+
+    class BaseTestCase1(api_version_utils.BaseMicroversionTest):
+
+        [..]
+    @classmethod
+    def skip_checks(cls):
+        super(BaseTestCase1, cls).skip_checks()
+        api_version_utils.check_skip_with_microversion(cls.min_microversion,
+                                                       cls.max_microversion,
+                                                       CONF.compute.min_microversion,
+                                                       CONF.compute.max_microversion)
+
+Skip logic can be added in tests base class or any specific test class depends on
+tests class structure.
+
+Step2: Selected API request microversion
+''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''
+
+Select appropriate Microversion which needs to be used
+to send with API request.
+api_version_utils.select_request_microversion function can be used
+to select the appropriate Microversion which will be used for API request.
+For example::
+
+    @classmethod
+    def resource_setup(cls):
+        super(BaseTestCase1, cls).resource_setup()
+        cls.request_microversion = (
+            api_version_utils.select_request_microversion(
+                cls.min_microversion,
+                CONF.compute.min_microversion))
+
+
+Step3: Set Microversion on Service Clients
+''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''
+
+Microversion selected by Test Class in previous step needs to be set on
+service clients so that APIs can be requested with selected Microversion.
+
+Microversion can be defined as global variable on service clients which
+can be set using fixture.
+Also Microversion header name needs to be defined on service clients which
+should be constant because it is not supposed to be changed by project
+as per API contract.
+For example::
+
+      COMPUTE_MICROVERSION = None
+
+      class BaseClient1(rest_client.RestClient):
+          api_microversion_header_name = 'X-OpenStack-Nova-API-Version'
+
+Now test class can set the selected Microversion on required service clients
+using fixture which can take care of resetting the same once tests is completed.
+For example::
+
+    def setUp(self):
+        super(BaseTestCase1, self).setUp()
+        self.useFixture(api_microversion_fixture.APIMicroversionFixture(
+            self.request_microversion))
+
+Service clients needs to add set Microversion in API request header which
+can be done by overriding the get_headers() method of rest_client.
+For example::
+
+      COMPUTE_MICROVERSION = None
+
+      class BaseClient1(rest_client.RestClient):
+          api_microversion_header_name = 'X-OpenStack-Nova-API-Version'
+
+          def get_headers(self):
+              headers = super(BaseClient1, self).get_headers()
+              if COMPUTE_MICROVERSION:
+                  headers[self.api_microversion_header_name] = COMPUTE_MICROVERSION
+              return headers
+
+
+Step4: Separate Test classes for each Microversion
+''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''
+
+This is last step to implement Microversion test class.
+
+For any Microversion tests, basically we need to implement a
+separate test class. In addition, each test class defines its
+Microversion range with class variable like min_microversion
+and max_microversion. Tests will be valid for that defined range.
+If that range is out of configured Microversion range then, test
+will be skipped.
+
+*NOTE: Microversion testing is supported at test class level not at individual
+test case level.*
+For example:
+
+Below test is applicable for Microversion from 2.2 till 2.9::
+
+    class BaseTestCase1(api_version_utils.BaseMicroversionTest,
+                        tempest.test.BaseTestCase):
+
+        [..]
+
+
+    class Test1(BaseTestCase1):
+        min_microversion = '2.2'
+        max_microversion = '2.9'
+
+        [..]
+
+Below test is applicable for Microversion from 2.10 till latest::
+
+    class Test2(BaseTestCase1):
+        min_microversion = '2.10'
+        max_microversion = 'latest'
+
+        [..]
+
+
+
+
+Notes about Compute Microversion Tests
+"""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""
+Some of the compute Microversion tests have been already implemented
+with the Microversion testing framework. So for further tests only
+step 4 is needed.
+
+Along with that JSON response schema might need versioning if needed.
+
+Compute service clients strictly validate the response against defined JSON
+schema and does not allow additional elements in response.
+So if that Microversion changed the API response then schema needs to be versioned.
+New JSON schema file needs to be defined with new response attributes and service
+client methods will select the schema based on requested microversion.
+
+If Microversion tests are implemented randomly meaning not
+in sequence order(v2.20 tests added and previous Microversion tests are not yet added)
+then, still schema might need to be version for older Microversion if they changed
+the response.
+This is because Nova Microversion includes all the previous Microversions behavior.
+
+For Example:
+    Implementing the v2.20 Microversion tests before v2.9 and 2.19-
+    v2.20 API request will respond as latest behavior of Nova till v2.20,
+    and in v2.9 and 2.19, server response has been changed so response schema needs
+    to be versioned accordingly.
+
+That can be done by using the get_schema method in below module:
