Good question. We had a discussion awhile back on whether SSHing into an instance broke the line between black and white box testing. We had people on both sides, but the discussion was tabled for a bit while we dealt with other issues. It's definitely something I'd like to talk about again. I'm doing some SSHing in the dev branch that I work from and find it fairly useful.

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.
