Cloud is easy. It is networking that is hard.
Red Hat supports installing OpenShift on OpenStack. As a Cloud SA, I need to be able to demonstrate this, and make it work for customers. As I was playing around with it, I found I could not tear down clusters due to a dependency issue with ports.

Us: Share my playbook with my larger team. For this, I use Ansible Tower.
Them: Make a Self service catalog for the larger organization to consume. This is where Ansible integration into other products comes in to play. I typically talk about CloudForms integration here, but Satellite and OpenShift are also capable of making use of Ansible here.
Here is how I have my local setup for doing Ansible based development. This is organized roughly around how Tower will later consume the roles and playbooks I design here.

When a user requests a code review, the review is responsible for making sure that the code is tested. While the quality of the tests is a subjective matter, their presences is not; either they are there or they are not there. If they are not there, it is on the developer to explain why or why not.
Not every line of code is testable. Not every test is intelligent. But, at a minimum, a test should ensure that the code in a patch is run at least once, without an unexpected exception.
