Introduction

Easypy provides a standardized runtime environment for testscript execution in pyATS. It offers a simple, straight-forward way for users to aggregate testscripts together into jobs, integrates various pyATS modules together into a collectively managed ecosystem, and archives all resulting information for post-mortem debugging.

Features

• Jobs: aggregation of multiple testscripts into one job.

• TaskLog: stores all runtime log outputs to TaskLog.

• E-mail Notification: emails the user result information upon finishing.

• Multiprocessing Integration: executes each jobfile Task in a child process, and configures the environment to allow for hands-off forking.

• Clean: clean/brings up the current testbed with new images & fresh configuration.

• Plugins: plugin-based design, allowing custom user injections to alter and/or enhance the current runtime environment.
