Testing the OpenStack environment

As a result of inheriting an agile method to build a consistent production environment, we will need to start by building the basic code blocks of the OpenStack infrastructure in a separate test environment. This means that testing a new introduced feature, for example, should take place continuously. A new feature, fixed plugin version, or an updated new specific OpenStack package is considered a change. These should first be tested in a similar production environment and in an automated way. To speed up the building and extending of an OpenStack production setup, we will need a test environment.
