abstract = {{LCLS is home to nine beamlines with drastically differing capabilities and competencies. These beamlines are comprised of a wide variety of different devices, and are frequently reconfigured to improve these capabilities or fit the current experiment. This varied and rapidly changing environment has made automating system configuration checks a challenging but vital step toward consistently performing high impact research. LCLS has begun development on ATEF (automated test execution framework), which aims to provide a framework for LCLS scientists to perform system configuration checks quickly and reproducibly. Atef offers a suite of tools for performing both active and passive checks built on the Bluesky/Ophyd data collection framework, as well as a Qt-based GUI for constructing and configuring said checks. This talk will outline the development of this tool, along with lessons learned through its initial deployment amongst our beamlines. }},
