CloudStack Test Client 0. Generate API XML spec file ant build-apidocs, the output xml file is dist/commands.xml 1. generate Cloudstack API python code from an API XML spec file generated by step 0 python codegenerator.py -o where-to-put-the-cloudstack-api -s where-the-spec-file 1a.

Example: python translator.py -i example.xml this will create an example.xml.py script in the current directory. Run that to run the test. 2. Facility it provides: 1. very handy cloudstack API python wrapper 2. support async job executing in parallel 3. remote ssh login/execute command 4. mysql query 3. sample code is under unitTest
