Sean Dague 5fe04c2ee8 add a place for functional test to block specific regressions 
We get some bugs reported in by users which we can replicate and fix
most easily in a full stack way. Having a dedicated place to put these
seems like a good idea. They are in no way an attempt to test all the
things, they are specific tests that demonstrate a bug, and ensure
that once that particular bug is fixed, it will not come back.

Tests for Specific Regressions

When we have a bug reported by end users that we can write a full stack reproduce on, we should. And we should keep a regression test for that bug in our tree. It can be deleted at some future date if needed, but largely should not be changed.

Writing Regression Tests

  • These should be full stack tests which inherit from nova.test.TestCase directly. (This is to prevent coupling with other tests).
  • They should setup a full stack cloud in their setUp via fixtures
  • They should each live in a file which is named test_bug######.py

Writing Tests Before the Bug is Fixed

TODO describe writing and landing tests before the bug is fixed as a reproduce.
