The recent commit I45d73891f3c0829a2378a032dfc02e5ac0ee34b7 deduplicated the base test class methods from the tempest.lib reintegration. However the surviving base class was put in the wrong namespace. The base class is just that a base to build the individual test subclass off of. It's very confusing for that to not live in the base tests namespace. While the code in lib is supposed to be self contained there isn't a reason to do that here for the unit tests, especially because in this case the import heiarchy becomes more confusing with the base living in a submodule. This commit moves the base class to the base tempest.tests namespace where it really belongs. Change-Id: I079eeb1135eed3254e5e9dbebac8a52b979303c7 |

Tempest Field Guide to Unit tests
What are these tests?
Unit tests are the self checks for Tempest. They provide functional verification and regression checking for the internal components of tempest. They should be used to just verify that the individual pieces of tempest are working as expected. They should not require an external service to be running and should be able to run solely from the tempest tree.
Why are these tests in tempest?
These tests exist to make sure that the mechanisms that we use inside of tempest to are valid and remain functional. They are only here for self validation of tempest.
Scope of these tests
Unit tests should not require an external service to be running or any extra configuration to run. Any state that is required for a test should either be mocked out or created in a temporary test directory. (see test_wrappers.py for an example of using a temporary test directory)
