The discussion about Libvirt File Injection on the main list reminded me 
that I am not clear on what we mean that a functional test passes. For 
example, in one version of the stress test we are going to check in, the 
test assigns a floating ip and ssh's to the created server to make sure 
it is, by some definition, working. It looks like the Tempest test of 
server creation passes if the API response says it did. Is this 
adequate? Another example is that if we are testing that a volume is 
attached to a server, don't we have to ssh to the server and make sure 
that the volume is accessible? Perhaps these aspects are tested by the 
nova unit tests but at first glance it did not seem so.
