+Service Tagging
+---------------
+Service tagging is used to specify which services are exercised by a particular
+test method. You specify the services with the tempest.test.services decorator.
+For example:
+
+@services('compute', 'image')
+
+Valid service tag names are the same as the list of directories in tempest.api
+that have tests.
+
+For scenario tests having a service tag is required. For the api tests service
+tags are only needed if the test method makes an api call (either directly or
+indirectly through another service) that differs from the parent directory
+name. For example, any test that make an api call to a service other than nova
+in tempest.api.compute would require a service tag for those services, however
+they do not need to be tagged as compute.

+Parallel Test Exectution
+------------------------
+Tempest by default runs its tests in parallel this creates the possibility for
+interesting interactions between tests which can cause unexpected failures.
+Tenant isolation provides protection from most of the potential race conditions
+between tests outside the same class. But there are still a few of things to
+watch out for to try to avoid issues when running your tests in parallel.
+
+- Resources outside of a tenant scope still have the potential to conflict. This
+  is a larger concern for the admin tests since most resources and actions that
+  require admin privleges are outside of tenants.
+
+- Races between methods in the same class are not a problem because
+  parallelization in tempest is at the test class level, but if there is a json
+  and xml version of the same test class there could still be a race between
+  methods.
+
+- The rand_name() function from tempest.common.utils.data_utils should be used
+  anywhere a resource is created with a name. Static naming should be avoided
+  to prevent resource conflicts.
+
+- If the execution of a set of tests is required to be serialized then locking
+  can be used to perform this. See AggregatesAdminTest in
+  tempest.api.compute.admin for an example of using locking.

-Tempest Guide to Whitebox tests
-===============================
-
-
-What are these tests?
----------------------
-
-When you hit the OpenStack API, this causes internal state changes in
-the system. This might be database transitions, vm modifications,
-other deep state changes which aren't really accessible from the
-OpenStack API. These side effects are sometimes important to
-validate.
-
-White box testing is an approach there. In white box testing you are
-given database access to the environment, and can verify internal
-record changes after an API call.
-
-This is an optional part of testing, and requires extra setup, but can
-be useful for validating Tempest internals.
-
-
-Why are these tests in tempest?
--------------------------------
-
-Especially when it comes to something like VM state changing, which is
-a coordination of numerous running daemons, and a functioning VM, it's
-very difficult to get a realistic test like this in unit tests.
-
-
-Scope of these tests
---------------------
-
-White box tests should be limitted to tests where black box testing
-(using the OpenStack API to verify results) isn't sufficient.
-
-As these poke at internals of OpenStack, it should also be realized
-that these tests are very tightly coupled to current implementation of
-OpenStack. They will need to be maintained agressively to keep up with
-internals changes in OpenStack projects.
-
-
-Example of a good test
-----------------------
-
-Pushing VMs through a series of state transitions, and ensuring along
-the way the database state transitions match what's expected.
