epm-client-python
==============================

This repository contains an SDK for python to be used for the ElasTest Platform Manager. Further documentation can be found [here](https://github.com/tub-elastest/epm-client-python/blob/master/docs/index.md).

The ElasTest Platform Manager (EPM) is the interface between the ElasTest testing components (e.g. TORM, Test Support Services, etc.) and the cloud infrastructure where ElasTest is deployed. Hence, this Platform Manager must abstract the cloud services so that ElasTest becomes fully agnostic to them and provide this abstraction via Software Development Toolkits (SDK) or REST APIs to the northbound consumers (i.e. the TORM). The ElasTest Platform Manager enabling ElasTest to be deployed and to execute seamlessly in the target cloud infrastructure that the consortium considers as appropriate (e.g. OpenStack, CloudStack, Mantl, AWS, etc.).

The ElasTest Platform Manager component is currently in development. If you want to contribute to the this project you need to read the [Development documentation](https://github.com/elastest/elastest-platform-manager/blob/master/docs/index.md)

What is ElasTest
-----------------

This repository is part of [ElasTest], which is an open source elastic platform
aimed to simplify end-to-end testing. ElasTest platform is based on three
principles: i) Test orchestration: Combining intelligently testing units for
creating a more complete test suite following the “divide and conquer” principle.
ii) Instrumentation and monitoring: Customizing the SuT (Subject under Test)
infrastructure so that it reproduces real-world operational behavior and allowing
to gather relevant information during testing. iii) Test recommendation: Using machine
learning and cognitive computing for recommending testing actions and providing
testers with friendly interactive facilities for decision taking.
