-=====================================
-OpenStack Hyper-V Nova Testing Architecture
-=====================================
-
-The Hyper-V Nova Compute plugin uses Windows Management Instrumentation (WMI)
-as the main API for hypervisor related operations.
-WMI has a database / procedural oriented nature that can become difficult to
-test with a traditional static mock / stub based unit testing approach.
-
-The included Hyper-V testing framework has been developed with the
-following goals:
-
-1) Dynamic mock generation.
-2) Decoupling. No dependencies on WMI or any other module.
-    The tests are designed to work with mocked objects in all cases, including
-    OS-dependent (e.g. wmi, os, subprocess) and non-deterministic
-    (e.g. time, uuid) modules
-3) Transparency. Mocks and real objects can be swapped via DI
-    or monkey patching.
-4) Platform independence.
-5) Tests need to be executed against the real object or against the mocks
-    with a simple configuration switch. Development efforts can highly
-    benefit from this feature.
-6) It must be possible to change a mock's behavior without running the tests
-    against the hypervisor (e.g. by manually adding a value / return value).
-
-The tests included in this package include dynamically generated mock objects,
-based on the recording of the attribute values and invocations on the
-real WMI objects and other OS dependent features.
-The generated mock objects are serialized in the nova/tests/hyperv/stubs
-directory as gzipped pickled objects.
-
-An environment variable controls the execution mode of the tests.
-
-Recording mode:
-
-NOVA_GENERATE_TEST_MOCKS=True
-Tests are executed on the hypervisor (without mocks), and mock objects are
-generated.
-
-Replay mode:
-
-NOVA_GENERATE_TEST_MOCKS=
-Tests are executed with the existing mock objects (default).
-
-Mock generation is performed by nova.tests.hyperv.mockproxy.MockProxy.
-Instances of this class wrap objects that need to be mocked and act as a
-delegate on the wrapped object by leveraging Python's __getattr__ feature.
-Attribute values and method call return values are recorded at each access.
-Objects returned by attributes and method invocations are wrapped in a
-MockProxy consistently.
-From a caller perspective, the MockProxy is completely transparent,
-with the exception of calls to the type(...) builtin function.
-
-At the end of the test, a mock is generated by each MockProxy by calling
-the get_mock() method. A mock is represented by an instance of the
-nova.tests.hyperv.mockproxy.Mock class.
-
-The Mock class task consists of replicating the behaviour of the mocked
-objects / modules by returning the same values in the same order, for example:
-
-def check_path(path):
-    if not os.path.exists(path):
-        os.makedirs(path)
-
-check_path(path)
-# The second time os.path.exists returns True
-check_path(path)
-
-The injection of MockProxy / Mock instances is performed by the
-nova.tests.hyperv.basetestcase.BaseTestCase class in the setUp()
-method via selective monkey patching.
-Mocks are serialized in tearDown() during recording.
-
-The actual Hyper-V test case inherits from BaseTestCase:
-nova.tests.hyperv.test_hypervapi.HyperVAPITestCase
-
-
-Future directions:
-
-1) Replace the pickled files with a more generic serialization option (e.g. json)
-2) Add methods to statically extend the mocks (e.g. method call return values)
-3) Extend an existing framework, e.g. mox
