%0 Journal Article %T Experiences in Building Python Automation Framework for Verification and Data Collections %J The Python Papers Monograph %D 2010 %I %X This paper describes our experiences in building a Python automation framework. Specifically, the automation framework is used to support verification and data collection scripts. The scripts control various test equipments in addition to the device under test (DUT) to characterize a specific performance with a specific configuration or to evaluate the correctness of the behaviour of the DUT. The specific focus on this paper is on documenting our experiences in building an automation framework using Python: on the purposes, goals and the benefits, rather than on a tutorial of how to build such a framework. %U http://ojs.pythonpapers.org/index.php/tppm/article/view/139
