QuantumSystemTest

Quantum System Test seeks to test the whole of Quantum to confirm functionality, performance, and behavior in various unexpected scenarios.

Here are a few things we should be thinking about for system test:

• Quantum operating as part of a cloud with other "interface services" like nova.
• Performance
• Behavior in larger multi-node environments (unit tests often just run on a single node deployment)
• Behavior in unexpected or failure scenarios.
• Behavior across different configuration options (e.g., quantum plugins, hypervisor backends, database types, etc)

Handling system test will likely require access to a lab environment to be able to setup non-trivial topologies.
