Please note: This schedule is for OpenStack Active Technical Contributors participating in the Icehouse Design Summit sessions in Hong Kong. These are working sessions to determine the roadmap of the Icehouse release and make decisions across the project.

Back in the grizzly cycle the coverage extension for nova was introduced. It created an api to enable coverage collection and reporting for external programs on a running nova installation. A client script was added to tempest to use the extension and a periodic nightly run was setup to watch the coverage. However, the extension and the tooling to use it haven't been used much and we often fall back to manual inspection when we try to figure out testing coverage.
This session would be dedicated to figuring out exactly what kind of tooling is needed so that we can classify and improve tempest test coverage an enable other test suites to figure out coverage easily. Also, any other steps that could be used to increase automation of coverage analysis and improving the usefulness of the data. Some possible topics for discussion for this session could be: * Improving or reworking existing coverage extension * Adding a coverage extension to each project * Additional tooling around coverage collection and analysis * Running coverage on each gate run
