abstract = {The BNL CA-D controls environment has recently been adopting modern programming languages such as Python. A new framework has been created to instantiate setting and measurement parameters in Python as an alternative to C++ and Java process-variable-like objects. With the help of automated testing tools such as pyTest and Coverage, a test suite is generated and executed before the release of Python-based accelerator device objects (ADO) to assure quality as well as compatibility. This suite allows developers to add custom tests, repeat failed tests, create random inputs, and log failures.},
