-Stress Tests in Tempest
------------------------
-Any tempest test case can be flagged as a stress test. With this flag it will
-be automatically discovery and used in the stress test runs. The stress test
-framework itself is a facility to spawn and control worker processes in order
-to find race conditions (see ``tempest/stress/`` for more information). Please
-note that these stress tests can't be used for benchmarking purposes since they
-don't measure any performance characteristics.
-
-Example::
-
-  @stresstest(class_setup_per='process')
-  def test_this_and_that(self):
-    ...
-
-This will flag the test ``test_this_and_that`` as a stress test. The parameter
-``class_setup_per`` gives control when the setUpClass function should be called.
-
-Good candidates for stress tests are:
-
-- Scenario tests
-- API tests that have a wide focus
-
 Sample Configuration File
 -------------------------
 The sample config file is autogenerated using a script. If any changes are made

+Sometimes we have some bugs in deprecated code. Basically, we leave it. Because
+we don't need to maintain it. However, if the bug is critical, we might need to

-Tempest Field Guide to Stress Tests
-===================================
-
-OpenStack is a distributed, asynchronous system that is prone to race condition
-bugs. These bugs will not be easily found during
-functional testing but will be encountered by users in large deployments in a
-way that is hard to debug. The stress test tries to cause these bugs to happen
-in a more controlled environment.
-
-
-Environment
------------
-This particular framework assumes your working Nova cluster understands Nova
-API 2.0. The stress tests can read the logs from the cluster. To enable this
-you have to provide the hostname to call 'nova-manage' and
-the private key and user name for ssh to the cluster in the
-[stress] section of tempest.conf. You also need to provide the
-location of the log files:
-
-  .. code-block:: ini
-
-    target_logfiles = "regexp to all log files to be checked for errors"
-    target_private_key_path = "private ssh key for controller and log file nodes"
-    target_ssh_user = "username for controller and log file nodes"
-    target_controller = "hostname or ip of controller node (for nova-manage)
-    log_check_interval = "time between checking logs for errors (default 60s)"
-
-To activate logging on your console please make sure that you activate `use_stderr`
-in tempest.conf or use the default `logging.conf.sample` file.
-
-Running default stress test set
--------------------------------
-
-The stress test framework can automatically discover test inside the tempest
-test suite. All test flag with the `@stresstest` decorator will be executed.
-In order to use this discovery you have to install tempest CLI, be in the
-tempest root directory and execute the following:
-
-    tempest run-stress -a -d 30
-
-Running the sample test
------------------------
-
-To test installation, do the following:
-
-    tempest run-stress -t tempest/stress/etc/server-create-destroy-test.json -d 30
-
-This sample test tries to create a few VMs and kill a few VMs.
-
-
-Additional Tools
-----------------
-
-Sometimes the tests don't finish, or there are failures. In these
-cases, you may want to clean out the nova cluster. We have provided
-some scripts to do this in the ``tools`` subdirectory.
-You can use the following script to destroy any keypairs,
-floating ips, and servers:
