Automatisation of the ITk-Pixel FELIX Read-out Chain Stress Test

This bachelor thesis addresses how to simplify the stress test of the readout chain. This is accomplished by first implementing the Wuppertaler microservices framework and fol- lowing that, expanding the features of the stress test software. All available parts of the microservices framework could successfully be implemented. Additionally, a script was developed to ease the use of the microservices. The stress test software was expanded to support a new YARR version, read additional information from the frontend registers and support external trigger scans. Further tests where performed where these new features are used. The tests reveal that switching from the old version of YARR and FELIX to the new ones, results in better performance.
