[Baypiggies] python based test automation framework

[Ravi Kondamuru]

I am testing the actual functionality. The test scripts generate
dns/http/snmp protocol traffic and validate their responses.
Is there a way to setup a framework like pyunit to generate html reports,
with links to error info etc?
thanks,
Ravi.
