bug that had no unit test, a new passing unit test should be added. If a

submitted bug fix does have a unit test, be sure to add a new one that fails

without the patch and passes with the patch.

Running Tests
|
||||
-------------
|
||||
The testing system is based on a combination of tox and stestr. The canonical
|
||||
approach to running tests is to simply run the command ``tox``. This will
|
||||
create virtual environments, populate them with dependencies and run all of
|
||||
the tests that OpenStack CI systems run. Behind the scenes, tox is running
|
||||
``stestr run``, but is set up such that you can supply any additional
|
||||
stestr arguments that are needed to tox. For example, you can run:
|
||||
``tox -- --analyze-isolation`` to cause tox to tell stestr to add
|
||||
--analyze-isolation to its argument list.
|
||||
|
||||
It is also possible to run the tests inside of a virtual environment
|
||||
you have created, or it is possible that you have all of the dependencies
|
||||
installed locally already. In this case, you can interact with the stestr
|
||||
command directly. Running ``stestr run`` will run the entire test suite.
|
||||
``stestr run --concurrency=1`` will run tests serially (by default, stestr runs
|
||||
tests in parallel). More information about stestr can be found at:
