Highlights

We are pleased to announce the release of pyATS - Cisco Python Automated Test Systems, a joint effort collaboration between ASG & ATS team.

pyATS is the next-generation, Python-based, Cisco mainstream test automation ecosystem. Built with Agile software methodologies in mind, it is engineered for rapid development iterations, with the ability to handle a wide variety of testing scenarios & requirements, bridging the gap between tradition DE/DTs, promoting team-oriented development cultures.

pyATS is highly extensible. It is compatible with existing Cisco ATS infrastructure & tooling, enables the reuse of existing scripts, packages and libraries, featuring a high-degree of familiarity with current ATS infrastructure whilst maintaining all the perks Python has to offer.

Infrastructure Features

Python 3.4 development with Python 2.7 support

Internal PyPI distribution of pyATS modules/packages

Git-based, distributed software version control repository

Seamless Tcl integration: reuse existing scripts, libraries & etc.

Object Oriented AEtest with Python unittest & dynamic testcase/object support

YAML standard format

SSR/EARMs/TRADe/TIMS/Clean support & compatibility

Dedicated engineering team for enhancements, TOIs, support & etc.

Design Abstract

Abstract classes: modular, easy to extend & enhance, plugin-support

Clean-cut dependencies with individual package releases under PyPI

Exception-driven flow control

Similar look and feel to Tcl ATS whilst leveraging Python core concepts & OOP designs

Differences vs. Beta

  • YAML schema: mgmt and consoles consolidated into connections.

  • YAML schema: tbname to just name

  • Tcl module: global interpreter changed: ats.tcl module itself is now the global interpreter.

  • Job files: ats_run renamed to just run

  • Job files: removed script_args argument to run. Now all additional arguments will be passed through as script arguments

  • AETest: removed SCRIPT_ARGS, and changed the mechanism for script arguments to self.script_args dictionary in each test section body.
