david f8ba4e948f seperate refstack tester from refstack
To allow the tester to be installed and run outside of the refstack project
we have decided to move it into its own project.

moved to approved and added work items to storyboard:

separate refstack tester from refstack

Problem description

The refstack tester needs to be easily installable on its own without checking out the refstack code.

Proposed change

This would require taking the code that lives in refstack/tools/tester and moving it into its own repository. probably in openstack-infra.

Alternatives

we could leave the code were it is and force anything that wants to install it to checkout the whole of refstack to do so.

Data model impact

none.

REST API impact

none.

Security impact

  • Does this change touch sensitive data such as tokens, keys, or user data? no
  • Does this change alter the API in a way that may impact security, such as a new way to access sensitive information or a new way to login? no
  • Does this change involve cryptography or hashing? no
  • Does this change require the use of sudo or any elevated privileges? no
  • Does this change involve using or parsing user-provided data? This could be directly at the API level or indirectly such as changes to a cache layer. no
  • Can this change enable a resource exhaustion attack, such as allowing a single API interaction to consume significant server resources? Some examples of this include launching subprocesses for each connection, or entity expansion attacks in XML. no

Notifications impact

none.

Other end user impact

The tester would need to remain compatible with the v1 api spec.

Performance Impact

none/

Developer impact

When finished tcup would need to have the tester as a dependancy.

Work Items

  • put code from refstack/tools/tester in external github repo (i.e. github.com/dlenwell/refstack-tester)
  • add basic unit and node test to new project to insure it works in ci
  • create project in openstack-infra/config for project with the above repo set as its upstream.
  • insure that project has the enable storyboard flag.
  • add refstack-tester to requirements.txt in refstack (will still be needed by tcup)
  • deprecate code in refstack/tools/tester

Dependencies

none.

Testing

The new project will require a base set of tests so that ci works propperly.

Documentation Impact

Since we have not written docs for the api.. let this document serve as the starting place for that.
