Flaper Fesp 80157e6a4a Run functional tests under tox
This patch allows to run functional tests under tox, however, they are
disabled by default. In order to run tests with tox, it is necessary to
enable them by modifying the functional-tests.conf and setting run_tests
to True.

This patch also merged both test files in a single one
(test-requirements.txt)

Marconi Functional Tests
====================
Marconi's functional tests treat Marconi as a black box. In other
words, the API calls attempt to simulate an actual user. Unlike unit tests,
the functional tests do not use mockendpoints.
Running functional tests (With Tox)
-----------------------------------
#. Setup a Marconi server. Refer to the Marconi `README`_ on
how to run Marconi locally, or simply use an existing server.
#. Change `$MARCONI_TESTS_CONFIGS_DIR/functional-tests.conf` and
set `run_tests` to True.
#. Run tests. ::
$ tox
#. Filter tests. ::
$ tox -- --tests tests.functional.test_messages
#. Run tests for specific environments. ::
$ tox -epy27,pep8
Running the Functional Tests (Without Tox)
------------------------------------------
#. Setup a Marconi server. Refer to the Marconi `README`_ on
how to run Marconi locally, or simply use an existing server.
#. Install functional tests dependencies. ::
pip install -r requirements.txt
pip install -r test-requirements.txt
#. cd to the marconi/tests/functional directory
#. Copy marconi/tests/etc/functional-tests.conf-sample to one of the following locations::
~/.marconi/functional-tests.conf
/etc/marconi/functional-tests.conf
#. Update the config file to point to the Marconi server you want to run
the tests against
#. If leaving keystone auth enabled, update system-tests.conf with a
valid set of credentials.
#. Now, to run the sytem tests, simply use the nosetests commands, e.g.:
Run all test suites: ::
nosetests --tests tests.functional -v
Adding New Tests
----------------
#. Add test case to an appropriate test case file: ::
queue/test_queue.py
messages/test_messages.py
claim/test_claims.py
