+Runs tempest tests
+
+This command is used for running the tempest tests
+
+Test Selection
+==============
+Tempest run has several options:
+
+ * **--regex/-r**: This is a selection regex like what testr uses. It will run
+                   any tests that match on re.match() with the regex
+ * **--smoke**: Run all the tests tagged as smoke
+
+You can also use the **--list-tests** option in conjunction with selection
+arguments to list which tests will be run.
+
+Test Execution
+==============
+There are several options to control how the tests are executed. By default
+tempest will run in parallel with a worker for each CPU present on the machine.
+If you want to adjust the number of workers use the **--concurrency** option
+and if you want to run tests serially use **--serial**
+
+Test Output
+===========
+By default tempest run's output to STDOUT will be generated using the
+subunit-trace output filter. But, if you would prefer a subunit v2 stream be
+output to STDOUT use the **--subunit** flag
