Integration tests AKA ceph-qa-suite
-----------------------------------
-Since Ceph is complex, it may be necessary to test your fix to
-see how it behaves on real clusters running on physical or virtual
-hardware. Tests designed for this purpose live in the `ceph/qa
+It may be necessary to test your fix on real Ceph clusters that run on physical
+or virtual hardware. Tests designed for this purpose live in the `ceph/qa
sub-directory`_ and are run via the `teuthology framework`_.
.. _`ceph/qa sub-directory`: https://github.com/ceph/ceph/tree/master/qa/
The Ceph community has access to the `Sepia lab
<https://wiki.sepia.ceph.com/doku.php>`_ where `integration tests`_ can be run
on physical hardware.
-Other developers may add tags like "needs-qa" to your PR. This allows PRs that
-need testing to be merged into a single branch and tested all at the same time.
-Since teuthology suites can take hours (even days in some cases) to run, this
-can save a lot of time.
