Description

As the MAX IV facility is maturing, expectations on beamlines are also rising, not least in terms of reliability. The controls team decided to build "checkup"; a simple, general toolset for implementing a test suite for a beamline, using pytest and pytango. Some use cases: "pre-flight" checks before a beamtime starts; when switching between experiments; after commissioning or starting up from shutdown. I'll present some background, the tool itself, and some initial results.
