+
+Methodology for verifying service continuity and recovery
+'''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''
+
+The service continuity and process recovery capabilities of "nova-api" service
+is evaluated by monitoring service outage time, process outage time, and results
+of nova operations.
+
+Service outage time is measured by continuously executing "openstack server list"
+command in loop and checking if the response of the command request is returned
+with no failure.
+When the response fails, the "nova-api" service is considered in outage.
+The time between the first response failure and the last response failure is
+considered as service outage time.
+
+Process outage time is measured by checking the status of "nova-api" processes on
+the selected controller node. The time of "nova-api" processes being killed to
+the time of the "nova-api" processes being recovered is the process outage time.
+Process recovery is verified by checking the existence of "nova-api" processes.
+
+All nova operations are carried out correctly within a given time interval which
+suggests that the "nova-api" service is continuously available.
