Usepyhelper_utils.shell.run_commandfor shell commands instead ofsubprocess.run, and useocp-resourcesclasses instead of raw YAML dicts.
Type hints are MANDATORY. Use mypy strict mode inlibs/and all new public functions under utilities. UseTYPE_CHECKINGfor type-only imports to avoid runtime overhead and circular imports.
Write Google-format docstrings for all public functions with non-obvious return values or side effects.
Always useuv runto execute commands. Never executepython,pip,pytest,tox, orpre-commitdirectly. Useuv run python,uv run pytest,uv run tox,uv run pre-commit, anduv addfor package installation.
Always use absolute imports. Never use relative imports.
Prefer specific imports usingfrom module import funcfor functions and constants. Usefrom package import module(thenmodule.Name) when retaining the module name meaningfully improves readability. Never use bareimport modulewithout afromclause.
Always use named arguments for function calls with more than one argument.
Never use single-letter variable names. Always use descriptive, meaningful names.
No dead code. Every function, variable, and fixture must be used or removed. Code marked with# skip-unused-codeis excluded from dead code analysis (enforced via custom ruff plugin).

tests/**/test_*.py: New feature tests must follow the STD-first workflow: (1) STP (Software Test Plan) reviewed and approved, (2) STD (Software Test Description) placeholder tests with docstrings and__test__ = Falsereviewed, (3) Implementation only after STD review. Never submit test implementation without prior STD review.
Every new feature test file must include an STP link in the module, class, or test docstring. If there is no STP, the module, class, or test docstring must include a link to the RFE or Jira epic (not support cases) for coverage tracking.
All new tests must have markers. Check pytest.ini for available markers. Tier marker semantics: tier1 = operator/infrastructure tests, tier2 = customer use case tests, tier3 = complex/hardware/platform-specific/time-consuming tests. Assign the correct tier based on what the test validates.tier2is implicit and added automatically to all tests without exclusion markers—do NOT add it explicitly. Team markers (network,storage,virt,iuo,observability,infrastructure,data_protection,chaos) are implicit based on directory location—do NOT add them explicitly.
Each test must verify ONE aspect only with a single purpose. Tests must be independent. Usepytest-dependencyonly when test B requires side effects from test A (e.g., cluster-wide configuration). For resource dependencies, use shared fixtures instead. When using@pytest.mark.dependency, include a comment explaining WHY the dependency exists.
Always use@pytest.mark.usefixtureswhen fixture return value is not used by test. This is REQUIRED.
__test__ = Falseis ALLOWED only for STD placeholder tests that contain only docstrings describing expected behavior with no implementation code (no assertions, no test logic). Once a test has implementation code (assertions, test logic, setup/teardown),__test__ = Falsemust be removed.

Learning: In the test suite, ensure the ipv6_network_data fixture returns a factory function (Callable) and that all call sites invoke it to obtain the actual data dict, i.e., use ipv6_network_data() at call sites. This enables future extensibility for configuring secondary interfaces' IP addresses without changing call sites. Apply this pattern to all Python test files under tests.

Learning: In the openshift-virtualization-tests repository, when using VirtualMachine objects from ocp-resources in tests, if vm.ready is True, vm.vmi is guaranteed to exist. Therefore, you can access vm.vmi.instance.status or vm.vmi attributes without additional defensive checks (e.g., if vm.vmi: ...). Do not rely on vm.vmi being present when vm.ready may be False; guard those code paths accordingly. This guideline applies to tests under tests/ (notably in virt/upgrade/conftest.py and related test modules) and should be followed for any code paths that assume vm.vmi exists only when vm.ready is True.

Learning: In tests that exercise lookup_iface_status_ip from libs.net.vmspec, rely on the function's built-in descriptive error messages for failures. Do not add extra assertion messages for IP presence checks using this function; instead, assert on the function behavior or catch its exceptions as appropriate. This reduces duplication and clarifies failures.

Learning: In integration/functional tests located under the tests/ directory, require assertion failure messages using the pattern: assert condition, "descriptive message". For unit tests under utilities/unittests/, rely on pytest's assertion introspection and descriptive test names; explicit failure messages are not required. This guidance helps maintain clear diagnostics for integration tests while keeping unit tests concise and leveraging pytest's built-in introspection.

Learning: In the RedHatQE/openshift-virtualization-tests repository, networking infrastructure requirements (nmstate, localnet bridge mappings, NIC availability) are not automatically tier3; they are considered standard test environment capabilities. Only tests with truly platform-specific, time-consuming, or bare-metal requirements should be marked as tier3. Apply this guidance to all Python tests under tests/, including tests/network/localnet/test_non_udn_localnet.py, ensuring tier3 designation is reserved for genuine platform-specific or complex scenarios rather than general networking infra necessities.

Learning: In this repository’s pytest-based test files (under `tests/`), do not flag unused test method parameters/fixture arguments for removal when the parameters are intentionally kept only to enforce pytest fixture dependency ordering (e.g., an unused fixture like `bridge_on_one_node`). Treat this as an intentional convention consistent with other fixture definitions in the codebase, and do not open follow-up review issues for those unused parameters.

Learning: In this repo’s OpenShift virtualization tests, it is a standard pattern to call `to_dict()` on `ocp-resources` objects (e.g., `DataVolume`) without using its return value. The call is used only to populate the object’s `res` attribute, which is then read or mutated (e.g., `dv.res[...] = ...`). Do not flag this as an unused return value and do not request adding an inline comment just to justify it, since maintainers treat this behavior as consistent and intentional across the codebase.

Learning: In this repository’s pytest suite, some STD (Standard Definition) placeholder tests under the `tests/` directory are intentionally implemented as docstring-only functions. They must be marked with `__test__ = False` immediately after the function definition (e.g., `test_x.__test__ = False`) to prevent pytest from collecting/executing them until the real test body exists. During code review, do not flag these as missing executable coverage and do not recommend removing or changing the `__test__ = False` setting when the placeholder pattern matches this accepted STD approach.

Learning: When calling `utilities.storage.get_dv_size_from_datasource()` in this repo, do not require an extra `None` guard for its return value if the `datasource` argument originates from a fixture that uses `ensure_exists=True` (e.g., `fedora_data_source_scope_module`). Those fixtures guarantee the datasource exists and provides a valid size, and other repo usages follow the same pattern without additional fail-fast/`None` checks; therefore, reviewers should not flag missing `None` guarding in this specific fixture-driven scenario.

Learning: In this repository’s pytest quarantine tests, do not flag or change `pytest.mark.jira(<id>, run=False)` as ineffective. `run=False` on `pytest.mark.jira()` is intentionally handled by the `pytest_jira` plugin, which conditionally skips the test when the referenced Jira issue is open. This is the correct behavior for **Category 1 (Product Bug)** quarantines; the `pytest.mark.xfail(run=False)` approach is reserved for **Category 2 (Automation Issue)** quarantines only (as documented in `docs/QUARANTINE_GUIDELINES.md`).

Learning: For this repository (RedHatQE/openshift-virtualization-tests), when reviewing any PR with "Quarantine" in the title or a `quarantine` label, check compliance with `docs/QUARANTINE_GUIDELINES.md` in any affected pytest test code. Specifically: (1) For Category 1 (Product Bug), require `pytest.mark.jira("CNV-XXXXX", run=False)` and do not suggest replacing it with `xfail` (the `pytest_jira` plugin conditionally skips when the Jira issue is open). (2) For Category 2 (Automation Issue), require `pytest.mark.xfail(run=False, reason=...)` (pytest handles the skip). During review, flag quarantine PRs that use the wrong marker/category, omit a Jira ticket reference for Category 1, or use `run=False` in an incorrect context; raise these compliance questions even if later resolution confirms the marker was correct.

Learning: In this codebase, when using `retry` imported from `timeout_sampler`, the decorated function must indicate success by returning a truthy value. The decorator retries until it encounters a truthy `sample` (i.e., it does `if sample: return sample`). Therefore, ensure `retry`-decorated functions include `return True` (or another truthy value) on success; avoid removing/altering it on the assumption that the caller ignores the return value. If the function returns `None` (or has no return statement), it will keep retrying and typically end in `TimeoutExpiredError`.

Learning: In this repository’s STD (Standard Test Definition) PRs under `tests/**`, it’s expected that Polarion IDs may be placeholders (e.g., `pytest.mark.polarion("CNV-00000")`) while the test scenarios are still being agreed upon. If the test scenario is disabled for the moment (e.g., the scenario/module sets `__test__ = False`), reviewers should not treat placeholder Polarion IDs as a blocking issue. Real Polarion IDs should be filled in before or during the implementation PR.

Learning: In this repository’s pytest suite (files under `tests/`), it is acceptable to have identically named `test_*` functions in different test modules (e.g., same function name in different `.../test_*.py` files). Do not request renaming solely to disambiguate function names across modules, since pytest node IDs remain unique and unambiguous due to the module path prefix. The team accepts the trade-off that `pytest -k <name>` will match tests in all modules containing that name.

Full test execution is not required for test deletion PRs.

Learning: In this repository, do not recommend adding `from __future__ import annotations` to fix forward-reference type annotation issues (e.g., Ruff UP037). Follow the established convention: use quoted string type annotations for forward references when the referenced class/type is defined later in the same file (e.g., `"ContinuousPing"`), and prefer `typing.Self` for self-referential return types.

Learning: During Ruff/lint rule-enablement PRs in this repository (e.g., when introducing a new rule like PLC0415), it’s acceptable to keep CI green by adding per-line, targeted suppressions for pre-existing violations: add only `# noqa: <single-ruff-rule-id>` at the end of the specific violating line. In this PR context, reviewers should NOT flag these targeted `# noqa: PLC0415` comments as policy violations, assuming the suppression is for a pre-existing issue and is documented in the PR description as a candidate for follow-up cleanup. Do not allow blanket `# noqa` (without a specific rule) or `per-file-ignores`; those remain disallowed.

Learning: In RedHatQE/openshift-virtualization-tests, if a PR is a Ruff rule-enforcement PR and its “Special notes for reviewer” documents that pre-existing Ruff violations are being temporarily handled via per-line suppressions (e.g., `# noqa: PLC0415`) to keep CI green, reviewers should treat those specific `# noqa: <rule>` comments as an agreed, temporary mechanism. Do not flag them as code-quality issues and do not recommend removing, consolidating, or refactoring those suppressions within the same PR; cleanup/remediation is expected to happen in dedicated follow-up PRs instead.

Learning: When reviewing Python code in this repository for Ruff/linter rule rollouts, do not treat temporary suppression comments as violations in the specific migration scenario where a PR enables a new Ruff rule (e.g., PLC0415) and the PR description explicitly documents that all *pre-existing* violations are being annotated with `# noqa: <RULE>` as a short-lived measure. In that case, only flag `# noqa: <RULE>` suppressions that are newly introduced on code that did not previously violate the rule—i.e., verify via the PR diff against the prior state (and/or prior Ruff findings) that the suppressed line was already violating before the rule was enabled. Ignore suppressions that are covering violations that existed before the new rule rollout and were intentionally bulk-added for cleanup in follow-up PRs.

Learning: When reviewing Python code in RedHatQE/openshift-virtualization-tests, avoid flagging Ruff `# noqa: <RULE>` suppressions as issues if they were intentionally added as a temporary measure to keep CI green after a PR enables a new Ruff/lint rule (e.g., PLC0415) and the PR description documents this under "Special notes for reviewer". Treat these suppressions as deferred technical debt. Only flag `# noqa: PLC0415` (and similar rule-specific suppressions) when they are newly introduced without an accompanying documented intent in the PR (and thus appear to be masking a new violation rather than a pre-existing one).

Learning: In this repository (RedHatQE/openshift-virtualization-tests), do not flag missing return type annotations or missing argument type annotations as Ruff “ANN” rule violations (e.g., ANN001/ANN002/ANN201/ANN202). The repo’s Ruff configuration does not enable ANN rules and only uses `extend-select = ["PLC0415"]`, so missing type annotations should not be treated as ANN lint failures during code review.

Learning: When using Kubernetes API models like `NodeSelectorRequirement` or `LabelSelectorRequirement` with operators `Exists` or `DoesNotExist`, the `values` field must not be non-empty. It is valid for `values` to be omitted / left as `None` (Python) / passed as `null`—Kubernetes rejects non-empty `values` for these operators, but does not require the field to be present or explicitly set to an empty list. In code reviews, do not treat missing `values=[]` for `Exists`/`DoesNotExist` as a validation issue; only flag cases where `values` is provided with actual elements.

Learning: When constructing Kubernetes `NodeSelectorRequirement` (or `LabelSelectorRequirement`) objects in code, do not treat `values` being omitted, `None`, or an empty list as an API-validation problem when the requirement’s operator is `Exists` or `DoesNotExist`. Per the Kubernetes API spec, these operators only require that the `values` array is not non-empty (i.e., it must be empty); they do not require the field to be explicitly present as `[]`. Therefore, reviewers should not flag `values=None`/missing `values` for `Exists`/`DoesNotExist`.

Timestamp: 2026-02-19T15:36:04.744Z
Learning: In cross-cluster live migration (CCLM) tests vs storage-migration tests, boot-time verification uses different access methods: console-based (get_vm_boot_time_via_console) when SSH to VMs in the remote cluster is unavailable, and SSH-based (get_vm_boot_time) when VMs remain in the same cluster. Code reviews should enforce separate, clearly named verification functions for each scenario (e.g., verify_vms_boot_time_after_migration vs verify_vms_boot_time_after_storage_migration) and place them in the appropriate modules. This pattern applies to all Python test utilities under tests/storage.

Learning: During review of PRs that are lint cleanups or tooling/version bumps, do not flag code-quality issues for patterns that pre-existed before the PR. Specifically, if the diff does not introduce/modify constructs such as nested `if` blocks or unnecessary list comprehensions, treat them as known/deferred and leave them for dedicated follow-up cleanup PRs. Only raise issues when the PR itself adds, changes, or refactors the problematic code.

Learning: In this repo’s test suite (under `tests/`), module-level triple-quoted string blocks used as STD documentation for shared preconditions (e.g., a `"""Preconditions: ..."""` block placed after `pytestmark`) are intentional.

Learning: For Python tests under tests/storage/, follow the existing traceability convention: use only `pytest.mark.polarion()` for test traceability. Do not treat missing STP/RFE/Jira-epic links (e.g., absent module-docstring links) as a HIGH-severity finding.
When reviewing changes that add new tests/fixtures, only flag missing STP/RFE/Jira-epic links as LOW/informational if the target file already has the established “STD” traceability pattern (i.e., that file already includes STP/RFE/Jira-epic links in its existing traceability mechanism such as the module docstring). Otherwise, leave these omissions unflagged and rely on `pytest.mark.polarion()` as the traceability mechanism.

Findings
-
STP for CBT exists at stps/sig-storage/cbt.md and documents the CBT test plan, scope, Jira links, feature VEP, environment and known limitations (including "Restore as a feature is not supported"). [::RedHatQE/openshift-virtualization-tests-design-docs::stps/sig-storage/cbt.md]
-
The STP explicitly references the VEP and Jira epic/ticket used in the PR:
- VEP: kubevirt/enhancements veps/sig-storage/incremental-backup.md (VEP
#25). [::RedHatQE/openshift-virtualization-tests-design-docs::stps/sig-storage/cbt.md:1] - Jira Epic CNV-61530 and tracking CNV-61552 are present. [::RedHatQE/openshift-virtualization-tests-design-docs::stps/sig-storage/cbt.md]
- VEP: kubevirt/enhancements veps/sig-storage/incremental-backup.md (VEP
-
The STP documents test priorities, tiers, and constraints that match the PR claim that this commit is Phase 1 (STD) and links to the same scenarios (push/pull, incremental/full, Windows, migration, storage-full error cases). [::RedHatQE/openshift-virtualization-tests-design-docs::stps/sig-storage/cbt.md]
Conclusion: The repository contains the corresponding STP that the PR links to and the documented test scope/limitations align with the new STD test descriptions in the PR.
Refactor Expected sections in backup/restore tests to focus on the ultimate test goal rather than intermediate steps. Backup success is verified during test execution, not as a separate assertion. Changes: - Backup/restore tests: Single Expected verifying restored VM works with data - Full backup: "Restored VM boots successfully and test data is present" - Incremental: "Restored VM boots successfully and all test data is present" - Multiple disks: Include "from both disks" in assertion - Post-migration: Include "pre-migration and post-migration" data - Hotplug: Include "both original and hotplugged disks" - Concurrent: "All restored VMs boot successfully and test data is present in each VM" Tests affected: 20 backup/restore tests Tests unchanged: 4 (forced full backup, error handling - appropriate exceptions) Addresses CodeRabbit feedback on STD single-assertion guideline.
