+Tempest Test Removal Procedure
+==============================
+
+Historically tempest was the only way of doing functional testing and
+integration testing in OpenStack. This was mostly only an artifact of tempest
+being the only proven pattern for doing this, not an artifact of a design
+decision. However, moving forward as functional testing is being spun up in
+each individual project we really only want tempest to be the integration test
+suite it was intended to be; testing the high level interactions between
+projects through REST API requests. In this model there are probably existing
+tests that aren't the best fit living in tempest. However, since tempest is
+largely still the only gating test suite in this space we can't carelessly rip
+out everything from the tree. This document outlines the procedure which was
+developed to ensure we minimize the risk for removing something of value from
+the tempest tree.
+
+This procedure might seem overly conservative and slow paced, but this is by
+design to try and ensure we don't remove something that is actually providing
+value. Having potential duplication between testing is not a big deal
+especially compared to the alternative of removing something which is actually
+providing value and is actively catching bugs, or blocking incorrect patches
+from landing.
+
+Proposing a test removal
+------------------------
+
+3 prong rule for removal
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+In the proposal etherpad we'll be looking for answers to 3 questions
+
+ #. The tests proposed for removal must have equiv. coverage in a different
+    project's test suite (whether this is another gating test project, or an in
+    tree funcitonal test suite) For API tests preferably the other project will
+    have a similar source of friction in place to prevent breaking api changes
+    so that we don't regress and let breaking api changes slip through the
+    gate.
+ #. The test proposed for removal has a failure rate <  0.50% in the gate over
+    the past release (the value and interval will likely be adjusted in the
+    future)
+ #. There must not be an external user/consumer of tempest that depends on the
+    test proposed for removal
+
+The answers to 1 and 2 are easy to verify. For 1 just provide a link to the new
+test location. If you are linking to the tempest removal patch please also put
+a Depends-On in the commit message for the commit which moved the test into
+another repo.
+
+For prong 2 you can use OpenStack-Health:
+
+Using OpenStack-Health
+""""""""""""""""""""""
+
+Go to: http://status.openstack.org/openstack-health and then navigate to a per
+test page for six months. You'll end up with a page that will graph the success
+and failure rates on the bottom graph. For example, something like `this URL`_.
+
+.. _this URL: http://status.openstack.org/openstack-health/#/test/tempest.scenario.test_volume_boot_pattern.TestVolumeBootPatternV2.test_volume_boot_pattern?groupKey=project&resolutionKey=day&duration=P6M
+
+The Old Way using subunit2sql directly
+""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""
+
+SELECT * from tests where test_id like "%test_id%";
+(where $test_id is the full test_id, but truncated to the class because of
+setupclass or teardownclass failures)
+
+You can access the infra mysql subunit2sql db w/ read-only permissions with:
+
+ * hostname: logstash.openstack.org
+ * username: query
+ * password: query
+ * db_name: subunit2sql
+
+For example if you were trying to remove the test with the id:
+tempest.api.compute.admin.test_flavors_negative.FlavorsAdminNegativeTestJSON.test_get_flavor_details_for_deleted_flavor
+you would run the following:
+
+ #. run: "mysql -u query -p -h logstash.openstack.org subunit2sql" to connect
+    to the subunit2sql db
+ #. run the query: MySQL [subunit2sql]> select * from tests where test_id like
+    "tempest.api.compute.admin.test_flavors_negative.FlavorsAdminNegativeTestJSON%";
+    which will return a table of all the tests in the class (but it will also
+    catch failures in setupClass and tearDownClass)
+ #. paste the output table with numbers and the mysql command you ran to
+    generate it into the etherpad.
+
+Eventually a cli interface will be created to make that a bit more friendly.
+Also a dashboard is in the works so we don't need to manually run the command.
+
+The intent of the 2nd prong is to verify that moving the test into a project
+specific testing is preventing bugs (assuming the tempest tests were catching
+issues) from bubbling up a layer into tempest jobs. If we're seeing failure
+rates above a certain threshold in the gate checks that means the functional
+testing isn't really being effective in catching that bug (and therefore
+blocking it from landing) and having the testing run in tempest still has
+value.
+
+However for the 3rd prong verification is a bit more subjective. The original
+intent of this prong was mostly for refstack/defcore and also for things that
+running on the stable branches. We don't want to remove any tests if that
+would break our api consistency checking between releases, or something that
+defcore/refstack is depending on being in tempest. It's worth pointing out
+that if a test is used in defcore as part of interop testing then it will
+probably have continuing value being in tempest as part of the
+integration/integrated tests in general. This is one area where some overlap
+is expected between testing in projects and tempest, which is not a bad thing.
+
+Discussing the 3rd prong
+""""""""""""""""""""""""
+
+There are 2 approaches to addressing the 3rd prong. Either it can be raised
+during a qa meeting during the tempest discussion. Please put it on the agenda
+well ahead of the scheduled meeting. Since the meeting time will be well known
+ahead of time anyone who depends on the tests will have ample time beforehand
+to outline any concerns on the before the meeting. To give ample time for
+people to respond to removal proposals please add things to the agend by the
+Monday before the meeting.
+
+The other option is to raise the removal on the openstack-dev mailing list.
+(for example see: http://lists.openstack.org/pipermail/openstack-dev/2016-February/086218.html )
+This will raise the issue to the wider community and attract at least the same
+(most likely more) attention than discussing it during the irc meeting. The
+only downside is that it might take more time to get a response, given the
+nature of ML.
+
+Exceptions to this procedure
+----------------------------
+
+For the most part all tempest test removals have to go through this procedure
+there are a couple of exceptions though:
+
+ #. The class of testing has been decided to be outside the scope of tempest.
+ #. A revert for a patch which added a broken test, or testing which didn't
+    actually run in the gate (basically any revert for something which
+    shouldn't have been added)
+
+For the first exception type the only types of testing in tree which have been
+declared out of scope at this point are:
+
+ * The CLI tests (which should be completely removed at this point)
+ * Neutron Adv. Services testing (which should be completely removed at this
+   point)
+ * XML API Tests (which should be completely removed at this point)
+ * EC2 API/boto tests (which should be completely removed at this point)
+
+For tests that fit into this category the only criteria for removal is that
+there is equivalent testing elsewhere.
+
+Tempest Scope
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+Also starting in the liberty cycle tempest has defined a set of projects which
+are defined as in scope for direct testing in tempest. As of today that list
+is:
+
+ * Keystone
+ * Nova
+ * Glance
+ * Cinder
+ * Neutron
+ * Swift
+
+anything that lives in tempest which doesn't test one of these projects can be
+removed assuming there is equivalent testing elsewhere. Preferably using the
+`tempest plugin mechanism`_
+to mantain continuity after migrating the tests out of tempest
+
+.. _tempest plugin mechanism: http://docs.openstack.org/developer/tempest/plugin.html

+subunit-describe-calls is a parser for subunit streams to determine what REST
+API calls are made inside of a test and in what order they are called.
+
+Runtime Arguments
+-----------------
+
+**--subunit, -s**: (Required) The path to the subunit file being parsed
+
+**--non-subunit-name, -n**: (Optional) The file_name that the logs are being
+stored in
+
+**--output-file, -o**: (Required) The path where the JSON output will be
+written to
+
+**--ports, -p**: (Optional) The path to a JSON file describing the ports being
+used by different services
+
+Usage
+-----
+
+subunit-describe-calls will take in a file path via the --subunit parameter
+which contains either a subunit v1 or v2 stream. This is then parsed checking
+for details contained in the file_bytes of the --non-subunit-name parameter
+(the default is pythonlogging which is what Tempest uses to store logs). By
+default the OpenStack Kilo release port defaults (http://bit.ly/22jpF5P)
+are used unless a file is provided via the --ports option. The resulting output
+is dumped in JSON output to the path provided in the --output-file option.
+
+Ports file JSON structure
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+  {
+      "<port number>": "<name of service>",
+      ...
+  }
+
+
+Output file JSON structure
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
