Integration of automated system tests for NSX and vCenter features

Related to blueprint: https://blueprints.launchpad.net/fuel/+spec/nsx-vcenter-system-tests-smoke

Problem description

We have a lot of acceptance and smoke test cases for NSX and vCenter features, but we haven’t got enough time to perform it manually during feature freeze milestone.

Proposed change

Enable support of automated system tests which are based on manual acceptance test cases of vCenter and NSX features. It will allow us to reduce the time to perform a comprehensive acceptance testing, according to manual test cases that we’ve already created considering different parameters and modes.

Alternatives

If it is not implemented in time, we will perform only manual tests with ‘High’ priority.
