The dictionary is irrelevant to your question. It doesn't matter whether
the path came from a dict, a list, read directly from stdin, an
environment variable, extracted from a CSV file, or plucked directly from
outer space by the programmer. The process remains the same regardless of
where the path came from.
import os
path = '/usr/local/ABCD/EDF/ASASAS/GTH/HELLO/MELLO/test04_Failures.log'
filename = os.path.basename(path)
print filename
# prints 'test04_Failures.log'
testcase, remaining_junk = filename.split('_', 1)
print testcase
# prints 'test04'
