Introduction to Writing Network Tests with pyATS
summary
pyATS is a Python test framework that lets teams describe a network with a testbed YAML, write Python test scripts with explicit setup/test/cleanup phases, and run them as job files; the stack uses the Genie parsers and unicon connectors to collect normalized device state. The demo runs six tests, five pass and one fails because multiple interfaces show CRC/input errors, and the built-in PI ATS logs view surfaces per-step JSON and HTML logs for fast troubleshooting.
