Yes, I suppose it depends on how development teams think about tempest.
In an ideal world, with complete test coverage of everything, any commit
that fixes a bug would also have to unskip or change some test. But we
can't expect developers to run tempest before a commit in the same way
they would run unit tests so I withdraw my suggestion. We can just skip
the tests and be watchful. I am not sure if it would be worth the
trouble, but we could have something that watches bug tickets for "Fix
Released" and notifies tempest maintainers if that bug is being skipped.

Hi,
What is the policy that we should or are following for test cases that
fail due to an existing Open Bug in Launchpad?
For eg:
https://github.com/openstack/tempest/blob/master/tempest/tests/test_list_floating_ips.py#L64
skips the test and posts the Bug ID in the message.
Do we submit the test for review with the @skip(until Bug #xyz is
fixed)
decorator applied?
This is the choice that I believe is the easiest and simplest. We just
need to be vigilant to remove the skips when/if the bug is fixed.

Jay, I agree with the idea that we should check the test in anyway. But
we have the issue of who remembers to remove the skip decorator when the
bug is fixed. Since we are going to be running tempest nightly, I think
it might be better to make these tests fail in the absence of the bug
rather than being skipped. I think there may already be some cases in
Tempest that do this.
Well, we're going to be running Tempest nightly, but also a subset for
every commit into any of the core projects... and that subset will be
a full merge gate.
So, a further question to answer is whether we treat *some* of the
tests differently than others with respect to how skips are handled?
Best,
