+Tempest
+=======
+
+`Tempest`_ is the OpenStack Integration test suite. It is installed by default
+and is used to provide integration testing for many of the OpenStack services.
+Just like DevStack itself, it is possible to extend Tempest with plugins. In
+fact, many Tempest plugin packages also include DevStack plugin to do things
+like pre-create required static resources.
+
+The `Tempest documentation <Tempest>`_ provides a thorough guide to using
+Tempest. However, if you simply wish to run the standard set of Tempest tests
+against an existing deployment, you can do the following:
+
+.. code-block:: shell
+
+    cd /opt/stack/tempest
+    /opt/stack/data/venv/bin/tempest run ...
+
+The above assumes you have installed DevStack in the default location
+(configured via the ``DEST`` configuration variable) and have enabled
+virtualenv-based installation in the standard location (configured via the
+``USE_VENV`` and ``VENV_DEST`` configuration variables, respectively).
