The Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at CERN requires many systems to work in close cooperation. All systems for magnet powering and beam operation are qualified during dedicated commissioning periods and retested after corrective or regular maintenance. Already for the first commissioning of the magnet powering system in 2006, the execution of such tests was automated to a high degree to facilitate the execution and tracking of the more than 10.000 required test steps. Most of the time during today’s commissioning campaigns is spent in analysing test results, to a large extend still done manually. A project was launched to automate the analysis of such tests as much as possible. A dedicated Java embedded Domain Specific Language (eDSL) was created, which allows system experts to describe desired analysis steps in a simple way. The execution of these checks results in simple decisions on the success of the tests and provides plots for experts to quickly identify the source of problems exposed by the tests. This paper explains the concepts and vision of the first version of the eDSL.
