Highlights

Velocity iTest — formerly available through the Spirent Velocity automation portfolio — is a unified interactive development environment (IDE) for Python, Robot Framework, and iTest users, enabling rapid creation of automated network test and verification applications across heterogeneous hybrid physical and virtual environments.

  • Python-based platform for automation developers and network engineers
  • Portable Automation Format (PAF) enables export of automated tests for use in lab, staging, and production environments
  • Record-and-playback functionality captures manual test actions and replays them as automation scripts
  • Patented Response Mapping automatically parses complex device messages to extract key information
  • Live interaction for real-time development and troubleshooting with any device, application, or system
  • Import existing Python, Robot, Bash, and PowerShell content directly into the IDE

Integration and ecosystem

  • Supports virtual application interfaces including OpenStack and VMware vSphere
  • Connects to traffic generators including Avalanche, CloudStress, CyberFlood, IxExplorer, IxLoad, IxNetwork, Landslide, and TestCenter
  • Interfaces with web, graphical user interface (GUI), and database applications via Appium, Selenium, Ranorex, and others
  • Supports application programming interface (API) and command-line interface (CLI) protocols including REST, SOAP, SSH, Telnet, NetConf, and SNMP
  • Integrates with Velocity Core for centralized lab and test resource management within continuous integration/continuous delivery (CI/CD) pipelines

Expert analysis and community

  • Correlated analysis of the entire system under test with configurable, personalized reports
  • Interactive post-test drill-down for rapid issue identification
