If you already have a good understanding of how the system works and your OpenStack accounts are set up, you can skip to the development workflow section of this documentation to learn how changes to OpenStack should be submitted for review via the Gerrit tool:

Pull requests submitted through GitHub will be ignored.

Validations are meant to verify functionality of tripleo systems. Therefore a special care should be given to testing your code before submitting a review.

Branches and version management

Validation Framework project uses semantic versioning and derives names of stable branches from the released minor versions. The latest minor version released is the only exception as it is derived from the master branch.

Therefore, all code used by version 1.n.* of the project resides in stable/1.n branch, and when version 1.(n+1) is released, new branch stable/1.(n+1) will be created.

By default, stable branches recieve only bug fixes and feature backports are decided on case basis after all the necessary discussions and procedures have taken place.
