SCS end-to-end testing

Introduction

From the beginning of the SCS project, it was always intended to reuse and include existing standards wherever appropriate, such as the Cloud-Native Computing Foundation's "Certified Kubernetes Conformance Program" or the OpenStack Interop working group's regulations regarding "OpenStack-powered Compute". Unfortunately, the latter has been retired in September 2025. This standard is meant to carry on the torch.

Motivation

SCS operators as well as SCS users want to be sure that the infrastructure services work as expected.

Regulations

The end-to-end testing is performed using Tempest.

The required tests are listed in Tests/iaas/scs_0128_e2e_testing/tempest-tests-non-admin.lst.
