3. GUI & Automation Integration

3.1. Seamless GUI-to-Automation Interaction

XOA includes various components and packages you can use to facilitate test automation.

  1. XenaManager saves port configs in NATIVE CLI format and loads port configs back to chassis

  2. Xena Python API loads port configs (in CLI format) saved from XenaManager to chassis.

  3. XenaScriptClient loads port configs (in CLI format) saved from XenaManager to chassis.

  4. Xena Python Test Suites convert and run Xena Windows Test Suites config (.x2544, .x2889, and .x3918) in Python environment.

3.3. Combining GUI and Python Test Suites

Save test suite configurations from the Xena2544/2889/3918 application, and then run the same test suite using the Xena Python RFC Test Suite with the configuration saved from the Xena2544/2889/3918 application.
