Hi Greg,
Thanks for starting this discussion topic.
In the dashboard component we also created a shell script to run the
dashboard API tests based on the vstart_runner.py in our local
environments. This script takes care of installing the teuthology
dependencies in a virtual environment and clone the teuthology repo, so
no need for having teuthology installed in your own envionment.
The script can be found here:

Teuthology is not without problems. The next one we discussed was
difficulty even running tests for smaller contributors without access
to an existing lab. This extended a bit to the difficulty of simply
*developing* tests. There isn’t an immediate solution to this problem,
but there are some steps people have taken independently.
John wrote a “vstart_runner” framework which supports a reasonable
subset of the full teuthology commands and is used throughout the
CephFS test suite (and I assume the manager as well?); this lets you
run tests against a vstart instance with pretty good fidelity to what
happens in the lab. Radoslaw and Orit have a similar thing for RGW
which hasn’t been merged but which that team sometimes uses in test
development: https://github.com/ceph/ceph/pull/20536 . We should unify
these efforts if possible and extend them into more tests whenever
possible. This helps a lot with test development. We’ll of course
never be able to support running a full rados suite on a single
machine (just due to the machine time required), but if we switch
enough tests into a framework that runs in multiple environments
individual contributors can at least run smoke suites on their own, as
well as any new tests they create for their contributions.
PROBLEM TOPIC: unify “tests-without-full-teuthology” frameworks and
use them more extensively going forward.
