We present a new accelerator toolbox (AT)-based toolkit for simulating the commissioning of light-source storage rings. The toolkit provides a framework for supporting high-level scripts to represent with realism the various procedures (e.g., orbit and optics correction, beam-based alignment, etc.) encountered during commissioning and is designed to mirror as closely as possible the reality as seen from the control room. Emphasis is placed on the inclusion of a comprehensive set of error sources and faithful modeling of beam diagnostics. The toolkit capabilities are demonstrated in an application to the recent design and commissioning studies of the Advanced Light Source Upgrade (ALS-U) Accumulator Ring, a short-time successful commissioning of which will be critical to the overall ALS-U project success.
