What it is and what it does
pyats.robot is a bridge component that lets RobotFramework users leverage the pyATS testing ecosystem. pyATS itself is an end-to-end testing platform built at Cisco for data-driven, reusable test development that scales from simple linear cases to complex asynchronous suites. This Robot sub-component specifically enables RobotFramework scripts to interact with pyATS infrastructure—its test execution engine (pyats.aetest) and connection management (pyats.connections)—without having to write pyATS code directly.
The package is actively maintained, supports current Python versions (3.8 through 3.13), and carries no known security vulnerabilities. It installs with low friction as a pure wheel and depends on robotframework plus two other pyATS modules. The Apache 2.0 license permits commercial use. The main constraint is platform support: Linux and macOS only.
Use it for
- Write RobotFramework test suites that interact with network devices or systems via pyATS connection management.
- Build data-driven test cases in RobotFramework that leverage pyATS's test execution and reporting framework.
- Integrate RobotFramework automation into a larger pyATS-based testing infrastructure at an organization.
- Combine RobotFramework's keyword-driven syntax with pyATS's asynchronous test capabilities for complex test scenarios.
