Project description

Python OO API for Spirent TestCenter (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.
