FTAS is industry’s first user-defined test suite that ensures quality standards for SONiC. FTAS is designed to verify SONiC for the Data Center or Edge deployment readiness at the fabric level. Like other modern CI/CD based systems, FTAS is fully automated and ready to plug in existing environments.

The test cases covered by FTAS are focussed on qualifying the fabric for functions, features, scale, day-2 operations, and chaos scenarios with meaningful network validation tests defined by customers. The ultimate goal of FTAS is to left-shift the quality standards for customer use cases towards the vendors so they can integrate them in their own release engineering processes. It also provides a mechanism for including network validation in customer’s NetDevOps practices to reduce the network delivery lifecycle.
