pyATS Blitz

The Blitz is a YAML-driven template that makes it easy for you to run a test case without having to know any knowledge of programming. This tool is called Blitz because it’s lightning fast — does the following actions:

• Configure a device.

• Parse the device output to verify if the device state is as expected.

• Unconfig or modify the initial configuration.

• Learn a feature and verify the result of the action

• Calling different apis and use their outputs on other actions and other devices

• Yang integration

• It is fully customizable and new actions can be added

• Many more features that will be discussed thoroughly in the upcoming sections

To use the Blitz, add the YAML content to a trigger datafile, or create a new yaml file if you dont have one. Using a job file execute tests in the given order.

Each trigger datafile can contains of multiple testcases.
