What it is and what it does
Genie Libs Ops is a library component of the Genie test automation framework that abstracts network device operational state into Python objects. It works within the pyATS ecosystem—Cisco's end-to-end testing platform designed for data-driven, reusable test automation. The ops module lets you model and access the operational state of network features (like interfaces, routing, or protocols) as object attributes rather than raw CLI output, making test code more readable and maintainable.
The package has no external runtime dependencies and is designed to integrate with Genie's broader test harness. It supports Python 3 on Linux and Mac systems. The library encourages object-oriented test automation by providing a structured way to represent network state, which aligns with Genie's philosophy of simplifying test development through reusable, modular components.
Use it for
- Write network device tests that verify operational state (e.g., interface status, routing table entries) using object attributes instead of parsing CLI output
- Build reusable test libraries that model network topology state consistently across different device types and vendors
- Develop data-driven test suites that validate network behavior in Agile development cycles using Genie's test framework
- Automate operational state validation in CI/CD pipelines for network infrastructure changes
