@swill @pdion891 thanks, I don't know of any format or wiki/document where
we keep this thing. Each feature/marvin-test may require test specific
environment so I'm not sure if we can have a general solution.
In general, for writing marvin tests new dependencies maybe added to marvin
itself (like for this PR, `ipmisim` dependency is added to marvin, so anytime
you install it you automatically get the dependency necessary by your Python
based test). Along with this, you may need any external dependencies added to
packaging requirements/dependency (for example, `ipmitool` added to debian
control, while for rpms `ipmitool` was already in the list of dependencies for
cloudstack-management package). For running tests, we should expect the test to
work out of the box provided the dependencies are installed. For this PR, I've
got `ipmisim` added to marvin's setup.py, and for Travis specific there is a
apt-get install ipmitool. After this the oobm marvin test runs like any other
test and internally is responsible for setting up (fake) ipmi server etc.
