cloudstack/test/integration

To run the tests - you should have marvin installed and correctly importable.
The tests are long running and are best monitored by external hudson jobs.

Also you will have to point marvin to the right configuration file that has
details about your cloudstack deployment. For more help on how to write the
config file and run tests check the tutorial at :

Build Verification Testing (BVT) Cases
--------------------------------------
These test cases are the core functionality tests that ensure the application is stable and can be tested thoroughly.
These BVT cases definitions are located at : https://docs.google.com/a/cloud.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0Ak8acbfxQG8ndEppOGZSLV9mUF9idjVkTkZkajhTZkE&invite=CPij0K0L

Guidelines
----------
BVT test cases are being developed using Python's unittests2. Following are certain guidelines being followed
    1. Tests exercised for the same resource should ideally be present under a single suite or file.

    2. Time-consuming operations that create new cloud resources like server creation, volume creation etc 
        should not necessarily be exercised per unit test. The resources can be shared by creating them at 
        the class-level using setUpClass and shared across all instances during a single run.

    3. Certain tests pertaining to NAT, Firewall and Load Balancing warrant fresh resources per test. Hence a call should be
        taken by the stakeholders regarding sharing resources.

    4. Ensure that the tearDown/tearDownClass functions clean up all the resources created during the test run.
