I found the presentation linked here to be useful:

A few other notes:

- If you are using devstack. the script tools/configure_tempest.sh
  creates a good first cut at tempest.conf.

- Until bug 933845 is fixed https://bugs.launchpad.net/tempest/+bug/933845,
  you will need to add the catalog_name entry for comput to tempest.conf

- I found I had to manually update the [environment] image_ref in
  tempest.conf

- I disabled resize (resize_available=false) , since I had problems
  with it and kvm )( didn't pursue yet...)

- You definitely need to disable or change the rate limits in novas
api-paste.ini

    [pipeline:openstack_compute_api_v2]
    pipeline = faultwrap noauth ratelimit osapi_compute_app_v2
                                ^^^ just remove

    [pipeline:openstack_volume_api_v1]
    pipeline = faultwrap noauth ratelimit osapi_volume_app_v1
                                ^^^
