| 8 | These tests stress the OpenStack baremetal provisioning API provided by |
| 9 | Ironic. |

| 12 | Why are these tests in tempest? |
| 13 | ------------------------------ |
| 14 | |
| 15 | The purpose of these tests is to exercise the various APIs provided by Ironic |
| 16 | for managing baremetal nodes. |

| 19 | Scope of these tests |
| 20 | -------------------- |
| 21 | |
| 22 | The baremetal API test perform basic CRUD operations on the Ironic node |
| 23 | inventory. They do not actually perform hardware provisioning. It is important |
| 24 | to note that all Ironic API actions are admin operations meant to be used |
| 25 | either by cloud operators or other OpenStack services (i.e., Nova). |
