 What are these tests?
----------
+---------------------
 The cli tests test the various OpenStack command line interface tools
 to ensure that they minimally function. The current scope is read only
 operations on a cloud that are hard to test via unit tests.
 
 
 Why are these tests in tempest?
----------
+-------------------------------
 These tests exist here because it is extremely difficult to build a
 functional enough environment in the python-*client unit tests to
 provide this kind of testing. Because we already put up a cloud in the

 Scope of these tests
----------
+--------------------
 This should stay limited to the scope of testing the cli. Functional
 testing of the cloud should be elsewhere, this is about exercising the
 cli code.
 
 
 Example of a good test
----------
+----------------------
 Tests should be isolated to a single command in one of the python
 clients.
