+Ability to upload a complete tempest config
+===========================================
+
+storyboard: https://storyboard.openstack.org/#!/story/105
+
+**Problem description**
+
+It makes sense that if an admin already has a working and tested tempest config,
+they should be able to use it with the refstack tester.
+
+**Proposed change**
+
+Allowing the user to use a custom tempest config would require changes to the
+tester cli as well as the web interface. We can safely break the code commits
+for this into two tasks. 
+
+* The CLI would require an extra argument for a path to a config file. As well
+as some logic that bypassed the internal config generation.
+
+* The Web UI will need some re-working to allow for this.
+
+Wireframes will be added to this spec before any ux is implemented on the front end.
+
+* web ui should be simple and clear.
+* user should select a radio button indicating wether the tester should attempt to
+generate a tempest config or upload a working on.
+* uploaded tempest files shouldn't be written to disk. rather they should be
+packaged into the workload for triggering the test run.
+
+**Alternatives**
+
+None off hand.
+
+**Data model impact**
+
+None.
+
+**REST API impact**
+
+None
+
+**Performance Impact**
+
+This should speed up the tester because now it will not have to
+generate/discover config or prepare the cloud to match config options.
+
+**Developer impact**
