I wasn't aware of the discussion that was going on since I am not
subscribed to the technical-board list.

The test plan for the Openstack SRU is that we have the continous
integration that is running on the commit level. We also run a couple
of exercises agaisnt the deployment when it happens in the lab. As
well the invidual projects testsuite is run at build time and fails to
build the package if the test suite fails.

Also the plan is to upgrade the Canonical private cloud canonistack to
-proposed as part of the validation.

If you have any questions please let me know.
