Hi Mayu,

tempest runs tests in a backend-agnostic way; this means it is not advisable to add configuration parameters pertaining to your controller or any other piece of software which might introduce backend-awareness.

In order to run tempest tests with your backend, and therefore being able to build the external testing system, other teams have added 3rd party libraries to devstack. In this way devstack creates a single host openstack deployment which works with your backend of choice, and then tempest tests are executed against this deployment.

You can find thrid-party neutron libraries in devstack/lib/neutron_thirdparty
