=== ContainersCAFE ===

ContainerCAFE is an extension of the CloudCAFE Framework specifically designed to test deployed versions of Rackspace's Containers product. It is built using the Open CAFE Core and CloudCAFE

ContainerCAFE has been developed primarily in Linux and MAC environments, however, it supports installation and execution on Windows

ContainerCAFE can be installed with pip from the git repository after it is cloned to a local machine.

• First follow the README instructions to install CloudCAFE
• Clone this repository to your local machine
• CD to the root directory in your cloned repository.
• Run "[sudo] pip install . --upgrade" and pip will auto install all other dependencies.

ContainerCAFE works in tandem with the Open CAFE Core cafe-runner. This installation of CloudCAFE includes a reference configuration for each of the CloudCAFE supported OpenStack products. Configurations will be installed to: <USER_HOME>/.opencafe/configs/

To use ContainerCAFE you will need to create/install your own configurations based on the reference configs pointing to your deployment of OpenStack.

At this stage you will have the Open CAFE Core engine and the CloudCAFE Framework implementation. From this point you are ready to:

1. Write entirely new tests using the CloudCAFE Framework or
2. Install the CloudRoast Test Repository, an Open Source body of OpenStack automated tests written with CloudCAFE that can be executed or extended. You can also install the ContainersRoast Test Repository, which are the automated tests writeen for ContainersCAFE that can be executed or extended.

ContainerCAFE leverages the logging capabilities of the CAFE Core engine. If tests are executed with the built-in cafe-runner, runtime logs will be output to <USER_HOME>/.opencafe/logs///<TIME_STAMP>. In addition, tests built from the built-in CAFE unittest driver will generate csv statistics files in <USER_HOME>/.opencafe/logs///statistics for each and ever execution of each and every test case that provides metrics of execution over time for elapsed time, pass/fail rates, etc...

Below is a short description of the top level ContainersCAFE Packages.

##containercafe This is the root package for all things ContainerCAFE.

##common Contains modules that extend the CAFE Core engine specific to OpenStack. This is the primary namespace for tools, data generators, common reporting classes, etc...

##configs Configuration files that are needed to run automated tests.

##metatests Unit tests for ContainersCAFE
