[ooni-dev] Ooni / M-Lab end-to-end integration testing document.

[Nathan Wilcox]

Hi all,

We've completed another milestone in our Ooni deployment work and
there's now a section in the README.md for end-to-end integration
testing (see below).


The remaining bits of our agreed upon vision for Ooni deployment on
M-Lab is integration with mlab-ns.  The current codebase has a fully
functional (though not secure!) "simulator" based deployment which
serves as a proof of concept and strawman deployment for testing.  It
looks like Will is pushing through a few key changes to mlab-ns
itself, so we're quite close to a fully integrated deployment.

Our final milestone will focus on ensuring these different pieces come
together, so you'll here from us as soon as that's ready.


Regards,
Nathan

The pull request link is here (and combines our mlab-ns-simulator
changes from our previous milestone):

The primary ticket for tracking this documentation is now closed:

https://github.com/m-lab-tools/ooni-support/issues/60


We also have been doing a bit of testing and prep-work for integration
with the mlab-ns changes Will is working on, such as mentioned here:

https://github.com/m-lab-tools/ooni-support/issues/56


We ran across some new issues and closed some old issues while working
through this procedure:

https://github.com/m-lab-tools/ooni-support/issues/62 - This is a
minor issue in our simulator start/stop scripts which won't matter
once full mlab-ns deployment is in place.

These are several closed tickets along the way:
