pypts

Introduction

pypts is a hardware-oriented testing framework developed by BE-CEM-MTA.

Key Features:

  • YAML-based Recipes: Define test sequences, steps, parameters, and variables using structured YAML files.

  • Modular Steps: Supports various step types including Python function calls, sub-sequence execution, user interaction prompts, wait times, and indexed steps for running tasks multiple times with varying inputs.

  • Reliable order execution: Unlike pytest-order, the reliably follows the specified order.

  • Variable Scopes: Manages global variables for the recipe and local variables within sequences.

  • Threaded Execution: Runs recipes in a separate thread using pts.run_pts.

  • Incremental Reporting: Generates a detailed CSV report (report.csv) in real-time as steps complete.

  • Contextual Reports: Includes run context (Recipe Name, File Name, Serial Number) and step context (Sequence Name) in reports.

  • HTML Reports: Provides a utility to convert the CSV report into a styled HTML file (report.html) for easy viewing, similar to pytest-html.

  • Event System: Uses queues for inter-thread communication and event reporting (e.g., step start/end).

Installation
