Pavilion is a Python 3 (3.4+) based framework for running and analyzing tests targeting HPC systems. It provides a rich YAML-based configuration system for wrapping test codes and running them against various systems. The vast majority of the system is defined via plugins,, giving users the ability to extend and modify Pavilion's operation to suit their needs. Plugin components include those for gathering system data, adding additional schedulers, parsing test results, and more.
- Robust testing in postDST, automated, and acceptance testing (system validation) scenarios.

- Simple, powerful test configuration language.
- System agnostic test configs.
- Hide common platform and environment idiosyncrasies from tests.
- System specific defaults.
