Automation Library - Quick Steps to Compliance
Previously in the 4.0.1 release, Preconditions and Check Patterns tabs were used
in the Automation Library Editor when creating tests. Now, Scope and Rule tabs are used to
create a test.
These new tabs take the place of the previous tabs. Using the Scope and Rule tabs
allow you to quickly set the operators that qualify the configuration, prior to running
the test, and assist you in further scanning the configuration to locate specific
information from that file.
A Steps Compliance test consists of one or more Steps that are executed in order,
from the first step to the last. Each Step, individually, has all the abilities of
a RegEx test, including:
The ability to define a scope and disqualify the test if the scope is not met, or as an
alternative, generate a remedy if the scope is empty.
The ability to extract stanzas from the steps input for use in the Pattern, or in
subsequent steps.
The ability to execute a Pattern against the configuration.
Each step in a test is logically divided into components, each of which is optional.
However, you must define at least one step, and have content within either the Scope
or Rule tab. These are:
Scope Definition - Defines the textual scope to be used for the rule processing,
and optionally passed to subsequent steps. Scope definition can be sub-divided into
stanza extraction, stanza filtering, and the handling of an empty scope (as either
a disqualified test or the generation of a remedy).
Rule Processing - Includes executing a Regular Expression (RegEx) Pattern against
the stanzas generated by the steps Scope Definition (or against other selectable
inputs); and Remedy Generation, which is executed if the rule processing for a step
determines that the device is not compliant.
