+In the upstream OpenStack CI all the Tempest test cases are supposed to pass. If some test cases fail in an OPNFV deployment, the reason is very probably one of the following:
+
+ * Some resources required for execution test cases are missing. Such resources could be e.g. an external network and access to the management subnet (adminURL) from the Functest docker container.
+ * Some OpenStack components or services are missing or not configured properly. You can check running services in the controller and compute nodes e.g. with "systemctl" or "service" commands. Configuration parameters can be verified from related .conf files located under /etc/<component> directories. 
+ * Used tempest.conf file doesn't contain all the needed parameters or some parameters are not set properly. When using Functest, tempest.conf file is generated by Rally and updated with needed parameters automatically before executing Tempest cases. You can find the used configuration file e.g. with "find / -name tempest.conf" command. Use "rally deployment list" command in order to check UUID of current deployment.
+
+When some Tempest test case fails, captured traceback and possibly also related REST API requests/responses are output to the console.
+More detailed debug information can be found from tempest.log file stored into related Rally deployment folder.
