Whiteboard

1. Re-organize test structure , per discussion here https://etherpad.openstack.org/marconi-test-refactoring
2. Remove the numbering (from 000 , 999 etc in test methods) from the system tests. Use http://paste.openstack.org/show/42988/ for test suite setup & teardown
(Use teardown method instead of the http.delete See comments https://review.openstack.org/#/c/40441/1/marconi/tests/system/queue/test_queue.py) (COMPLETE)
3. Update all create_headers to return python dict (COMPLETE)
4. Consider developing a state machine to set up the DB with pre-loaded data, that can be used by the tests.
Gerrit topic: https://review.openstack.org/#q,topic:bp/refactor-system-tests,n,z
5. Using a queue-creating context manager would avoid having to maintain a list of queues to delete at the end of the test. See: https://github.com/cabrera/marconi/blob/fix_system_tests/marconi/tests/system/common/utils.py#L22 (No Longer Applicable, now that we use test level setups)
