What types of tests does the pyATS library conduct?

The pyATS (Python Automated Test Systems) library is designed specifically for testing network devices and applications in a programmable way. It provides a comprehensive framework that supports multiple types of testing to ensure robust network performance and functionality.

Unit tests focus on verifying the smallest parts of the application, commonly individual functions or methods. Regression tests are conducted to confirm that recent changes to the code have not adversely affected existing functionalities. Integration tests assess how various components work together within the system, ensuring that interconnected parts function as intended.

The versatility of pyATS allows users to implement all these testing types—unit, regression, and integration—offering a holistic approach to validation. This makes it particularly useful for network engineers and developers who need to test the reliability and stability of their network systems comprehensively.
