Sean McGinnis 61238e2e54 Add test type clarification to devref
We now have unit, functional, and tempest tests in tree. To avoid
confusion, we need to make sure it's clear what each of these test
types are intended to be used for.

This adds a description for each test type and cleans up some of
the documentation around testing in general.

Building the docs

Dependencies

Sphinx

You'll need sphinx (the python one) and if you are using the virtualenv you'll need to install it in the virtualenv specifically so that it can load the cinder modules.

pip install Sphinx
Graphviz

Some of the diagrams are generated using the dot language from Graphviz.

sudo apt-get install graphviz

Use make

Just type make:

% make

Look in the Makefile for more targets.

Manually

  1. Generate the code.rst file so that Sphinx will pull in our docstrings:

    % ./generate_autodoc_index.sh > source/code.rst
  2. Run `sphinx_build`:

    % sphinx-build -b html source build/html

Use tox

The easiest way to build the docs and avoid dealing with all dependencies is to let tox prepare a virtualenv and run the build_sphinx target inside the virtualenv:

% cd ..
% tox -e docs

The docs have been built

Check out the build directory to find them. Yay!
