Please. When your third party testing structure votes on patches and your testing structure is not stable, it will vote with a -1 on patches.
This results in three consequences: 1. The patch it votes on starts a countdown for abandonment, this is frustrating for developers. 2. Reviewers who use -Verified-1 as a filter criteria will not review a patch with a -1 in the verification column in the Gerrit dashboard. This prevents developers from progressing in their work, and this also prevents reviewers from reviewing patches that need to be assessed. 3. Third party testing that does not provide publicly accessible logs leave developers with no way to diagnose the issue, which makes it very difficult for a developer to fix, leaving the patch in a state of limbo. You can post messages to the patches, including a stable working url to the logs for your tests, as you continue to work on your third party tests. You are also welcome to post a success of failure message, just please refrain from allowing your testing infrastructure to vote on patches until your testing infrastructure is working, reliably, and has logs that developers can use to fix problems. The list of third party testing accounts are found here.[0] Right now there are three plugins that need to remove voting until they are stable. Please be active in #openstack-neutron, #openstack-qa, and the mailing list so that if there is an issue with your testing structure, people can come and talk to you. Thank you, Anita.
