This package implements Python OO API for STC.

Functionality

The current version supports the following test flow:

• Load configuration -> Get/Set attributes -> Start/Stop traffic -> Get statistics.

Supported operations:

• Basic operations - get/set attributes, get/create children.
• Connect - to chassis or lab server
• Load configuration - load configuration (tcc or XML), reserve ports and analyze the configuration
• Start/Stop - arp, ping, devices, ports, streams
• Statistics - subscribe, read views, unsubscribe
• Save configuration and results
• Disconnect

The package also support Add/Remove objects so it supports the following test case:

• Build configuration -> Start/Stop traffic -> Get statistics.

But this is less documented at this version.

Low level APIs

• StcTclWrapper - a Python wrapper (using Python Tk package) over STC native Tcl API (SpirentTestCenter) .
• StcPythonWrapper - a Python wrapper over STC native Python API (StcPython.py)
• StcRestWrapper - a Python wrapper over STC lab server REST API (using stcrestclient package).

Installation

pip instsll pytestcenter

Prerequisite

TestCenter application installed for Tcl and Python APIs. Lab/Rese server for REST API.

Getting started

Under testcenter.test.stc_samples you will find some basic samples. See inside for more info.

TestCenter and IxNetwork

IxNetwork package and TestCenter extend the same base classes from TrafficGenerator. In some future version we plan TrafficGenerator a complete abstract API so tests that work in the basic test flow will be able to run over IxNetwork and TestCenter seamlessly.
