Andrey Kurilin 7443555b4d Add simple wrapper for pytest
It helps to:
 - publish report at upstream CI(mask report as testr-report)
 - launch single tests. Returns ability to launch single test or group of
   tests like:
      tox -e py27 -- tests.unit.test_osclients.CachedTestCase.test_cached

Testing
=======
Please, don't hesitate to write tests ;)
Unit tests
----------
*Files: /tests/unit/**
The goal of unit tests is to ensure that internal parts of the code work properly.
All internal methods should be fully covered by unit tests with a reasonable mocks usage.
About Rally unit tests:
- All `unit tests <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unit_testing>`_ are located inside /tests/unit/*
- Tests are written on top of: *testtools* and *mock* libs
- `Tox <https://tox.readthedocs.org/en/latest/>`_ is used to run unit tests
To run unit tests locally::
$ pip install tox
$ tox
To run py27, py34, py35 or pep8 only::
$ tox -e <name>
# NOTE: <name> is one of py27, py34, py35 or pep8
To run py27/py34/py35 against mysql or psql
$ export RALLY_UNITTEST_DB_URL="mysql://user:secret@localhost/rally"
$ tox -epy27
To run specific test of py27/py34/py35::
$ tox -e py27 -- tests.unit.test_osclients
To get test coverage::
$ tox -e cover
# NOTE: Results will be in ./cover/index.html
To generate docs::
$ tox -e docs
# NOTE: Documentation will be in doc/source/_build/html/index.html
Functional tests
----------------
*Files: /tests/functional/**
The goal of `functional tests <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Functional_testing>`_ is to check that everything works well together.
Fuctional tests use Rally API only and check responses without touching internal parts.
To run functional tests locally::
$ source openrc
$ rally deployment create --fromenv --name testing
$ tox -e cli
# NOTE: openrc file with OpenStack admin credentials
Output of every Rally execution will be collected under some reports root in
directory structure like: reports_root/ClassName/MethodName_suffix.extension
This functionality implemented in tests.functional.utils.Rally.__call__ method.
Use 'gen_report_path' method of 'Rally' class to get automatically generated file
path and name if you need. You can use it to publish html reports, generated
during tests.
Reports root can be passed through environment variable 'REPORTS_ROOT'. Default is
'rally-cli-output-files'.
Rally CI scripts
----------------
*Files: /tests/ci/**
This directory contains scripts and files related to the Rally CI system.
Rally Style Commandments
------------------------
*File: /tests/hacking/checks.py*
This module contains Rally specific hacking rules for checking commandments.
