Writing new tests
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
If you are writing a new collection of integration tests, there are a few VMware-specific things to note beyond
the standard Ansible :ref:`integration testing<testing_integration>` process.
The test-suite uses a set of common, pre-defined vars located in the :file:`test/integration/targets/prepare_vmware_tests/` role.
The resources defined there are automatically created by importing that role at the start of your test:
.. code-block:: yaml
- import_role:
name: prepare_vmware_tests
vars:
setup_datacenter: true
This will give you a ready to use cluster, datacenter, datastores, folder, switch, dvswitch, ESXi hosts, and VMs.
No need to create too much resources
