What it is and what it does
Genie Libs Robot is a RobotFramework library component that bridges the Genie test framework and pyATS testing ecosystem. It exposes Genie's capabilities as RobotFramework keywords, allowing test automation engineers to write Robot test cases that leverage Genie's modular architecture and data-driven testing patterns. Genie itself is a test harness and library framework developed by Cisco that simplifies test automation by providing reusable components and an object-oriented Python interface.
The package is designed for teams building test suites that need to scale from simple linear tests to complex asynchronous scenarios. It integrates with robotframework as its sole runtime dependency, making it straightforward to add to existing Robot-based test infrastructure. The package is actively maintained and carries no known security vulnerabilities.
Use it for
- Write RobotFramework test cases that interact with Genie libraries for network device testing
- Integrate Genie's data-driven testing patterns into existing Robot Framework test suites
- Build reusable, modular test automation leveraging Genie's object-oriented Python interface via Robot keywords
- Scale test suites from simple linear cases to complex asynchronous tests within the pyATS ecosystem
- Automate testing for Cisco network devices and infrastructure using Robot Framework syntax
