+Test Documentation
+------------------
+For tests being added we need to require inline documentation in the form of
+docstings to explain what is being tested. In API tests for a new API a class
+level docstring should be added to an API reference doc. If one doesn't exist
+a TODO comment should be put indicating that the reference needs to be added.
+For individual API test cases a method level docstring should be used to
+explain the functionality being tested if the test name isn't descriptive
+enough. For example::
+
+    def test_get_role_by_id(self):
+        """Get a role by its id."""
+
+the docstring there is superfluous and shouldn't be added. but for a method
+like::
+
+    def test_volume_backup_create_get_detailed_list_restore_delete(self):
+        pass
+
+a docstring would be useful because while the test title is fairly descriptive
+the operations being performed are complex enough that a bit more explanation
+will help people figure out the intent of the test.
+
+For scenario tests a class level docstring describing the steps in the scenario
+is required. If there is more than one test case in the class individual
+docstrings for the workflow in each test methods can be used instead. A good
+example of this would be::
+
+    class TestVolumeBootPattern(manager.OfficialClientTest):
+    """
+    This test case attempts to reproduce the following steps:
+
+     * Create in Cinder some bootable volume importing a Glance image
+     * Boot an instance from the bootable volume
+     * Write content to the volume
+     * Delete an instance and Boot a new instance from the volume
+     * Check written content in the instance
+     * Create a volume snapshot while the instance is running
+     * Boot an additional instance from the new snapshot based volume
+     * Check written content in the instance booted from snapshot

+Reviewing Tempest Code
+======================
+
+To start read the `OpenStack Common Review Checklist
+<https://wiki.openstack.org/wiki/ReviewChecklist#Common_Review_Checklist>`_
+
+
+Ensuring code is executed
+-------------------------
+
+For any new or change to a test it has to be verified in the gate. This means
+that the first thing to check with any change is that a gate job actually runs
+it. Tests which aren't executed either because of configuration or skips should
+not be accepted.
+
+
+Unit Tests
+----------
+
+For any change that adds new functionality to either common functionality or an
+out-of-band tool unit tests are required. This is to ensure we don't introduce
+future regressions and to test conditions which we may not hit in the gate runs.
+Tests, and service clients aren't required to have unit tests since they should
+be self verifying by running them in the gate.
+
+
+API Stability
+-------------
+Tests should only be added for a published stable APIs. If a patch contains
+tests for an API which hasn't been marked as stable or for an API that which
+doesn't conform to the `API stability guidelines
+<https://wiki.openstack.org/wiki/Governance/Approved/APIStability>`_ then it
+should not be approved.
+
+
+Reject Copy and Paste Test Code
+------------------------
+When creating new tests that are similar to existing tests it is tempting to
+simply copy the code and make a few modifications. This increases code size and
+the maintenance burden. Such changes should not be approved if it is easy to
+abstract the duplicated code into a function or method.
+
+
+Being explicit
+--------------
+When tests are being added that depend on a configurable feature or extension,
+polling the API to discover that it is enabled should not be done. This will
+just result in bugs being masked because the test can be skipped automatically.
+Instead the config file should be used to determine whether a test should be
+skipped or not. Do not approve changes that depend on an API call to determine
+whether to skip or not.
+
+
+Test Documentation
+------------------
+When a new test is being added refer to the :ref:`TestDocumentation` section in
+hacking to see if the requirements are being met. With the exception of a class
+level docstring linking to the API ref doc in the API tests and a docstring for
+scenario tests this is up to the reviewers discretion whether a docstring is
+required or not.
+
+
+When to approve
+---------------
+ * Every patch needs two +2s before being approved.
+ * Its ok to hold off on an approval until a subject matter expert reviews it
+ * If a patch has already been approved but requires a trivial rebase to merge,
+   you do not have to wait for a second +2, since the patch has already had
+   two +2s.

+Tempest Field Guide to Baremetal API tests
+==========================================
+
+
+What are these tests?
+---------------------
+
+These tests stress the OpenStack baremetal provisioning API provided by
+Ironic.
+
+
+Why are these tests in tempest?
+------------------------------
+
+The purpose of these tests is to exercise the various APIs provided by Ironic
+for managing baremetal nodes.
+
+
+Scope of these tests
+--------------------
+
+The baremetal API test perform basic CRUD operations on the Ironic node
+inventory.  They do not actually perform hardware provisioning. It is important
+to note that all Ironic API actions are admin operations meant to be used
+either by cloud operators or other OpenStack services (i.e., Nova).

+Utility for cleaning up environment after Tempest run
+
+Runtime Arguments
+-----------------
+
+--init-saved-state: Before you can execute cleanup you must initialize
+the saved state by running it with the --init-saved-state flag
+(creating ./saved_state.json), which protects your deployment from
+cleanup deleting objects you want to keep.  Typically you would run
+cleanup with --init-saved-state prior to a tempest run. If this is not
+the case saved_state.json must be edited, removing objects you want
+cleanup to delete.
+
+--dry-run: Creates a report (dry_run.json) of the tenants that will be
+cleaned up (in the "_tenants_to_clean" array), and the global objects
+that will be removed (tenants, users, flavors and images).  Once
+cleanup is executed in normal mode, running it again with --dry-run
+should yield an empty report.
+
+**NOTE**: The _tenants_to_clean array in dry-run.json lists the
+tenants that cleanup will loop through and delete child objects, not
+delete the tenant itself. This may differ from the tenants array as you
+can clean the tempest and alternate tempest tenants but not delete the
+tenants themselves.  This is actually the default behavior.
+
+**Normal mode**: running with no arguments, will query your deployment and
+build a list of objects to delete after filtering out out the objects
+found in saved_state.json and based on the
+--preserve-tempest-conf-objects and
+--delete-tempest-conf-objects flags.
+
+By default the tempest and alternate tempest users and tenants are not
+deleted and the admin user specified in tempest.conf is never deleted.
+
+Please run with --help to see full list of options.
