Question

Your team maintains a pyATS-based change-validation suite for a nightly automated maintenance window. You have three separate testscripts: pre_change_baseline.py, post_change_verify.py, and interface_health.py. Operations wants a single command that executes all three scripts sequentially against the same testbed, produces one consolidated results archive, and can be triggered from the CI pipeline. Which pyATS artifact should you create and invoke to meet this requirement?

Accepted Answer

A pyATS job file that imports each testscript with run() and is executed via 'pyats run job job.py --testbed-file testbed.yaml'

Answer

A single Genie triggers-and-verifications YAML file executed with 'pyats learn'

Answer

Three independent 'pyats run test' invocations chained with '&&' in the CI YAML, each with its own testbed argument

Answer

A Genie diff datafile referenced by 'pyats diff' to compare each script's output
