mas-automation-cli 1.3.2

AI-powered test automation CLI for NetScaler Console (MAS/ADM)

mas-automation-cli

AI-powered test automation CLI for NetScaler Console (MAS/ADM) functional test cases.

Connects to StarWars (Citrix internal test case database), Claude AI (script generation), and a live MAS + VPX lab environment — automating the entire discover → generate → execute → report cycle.

---

Install

# With AI support (recommended)
pip install "mas-automation-cli[ai]"

# Standard (no AI generation)
pip install mas-automation-cli

Requires Python 3.8+. For AI features, also set one of:

• ANTHROPIC_API_KEY — Anthropic direct API
• ANTHROPIC_VERTEX_PROJECT_ID — Google Cloud Vertex AI (contact your team admin for project details)

---

Quick start

# 1. First-time setup: MAS/VPX/SDK credentials + AI provider
mas-cli init

# 2. Verify everything is reachable (run every session)
mas-cli health-check

# 3. Preview what automate will do — safe, no files written
mas-cli automate 111.3 --dry-run

# 4. Generate + execute all missing test cases for a folder
mas-cli automate 111.3

What mas-cli automate does

mas-cli automate <folder> runs a 7-step pipeline:

Step	What happens
Preflight	Checks AI + StarWars MCP + Atlassian — blocks if any required service is down
1. Infra config	Interactive setup (skipped if already configured)
2. Validate infra	Pings MAS, VPX, SDK
3. Agent + StarWars	Fetches all TC IDs for the folder (automated + pending)
3.5. Folder cleanup	Moves stale legacy scripts to BACKUP/ — runs even in dry-run
4. Analyze	Counts total / automated / broken / pending vs StarWars ground truth
5. Generate	Fetches procedures from StarWars → Claude generates Python test scripts
6. Execute	Runs all tests via asterix.py against live MAS lab
7. Summary	StarWars coverage breakdown + pass/fail counts

Example summary output:

  --- StarWars (Source of Truth) ---
  Total TCs in folder:       899
    Automated in StarWars:   790  (have scripts in some system)
    Not automated anywhere:  109  (first-time automation targets)

  --- Coverage ---
  Before this run:           112/899  (12%)
  After  this run:           901/899  (100%)
  Added by mas-cli:          +789 script(s)
