CAS support 5 cache modes: WO, WB, WT, WA and PT. You should assign len(CacheMode) to number_of_caches in line 24 instead of assigning the raw number

It can be defined outside of the loop

Instead of associating lists of stats relevant for the particular cache modes you should use trait-relevant stats association. That way the test will become more flexible for any modifications like adding a new cache mode or adding a new statistic.
You can grep older tests in search of CacheModeTrait to see the usage of trait API.
InsertWrite means a cache mode inserts data into cache when writing
InsertRead means a cache mode inserts data into cache when reading
LazyWrites means a cache mode inserts data into cache when writing but it doesn't flush on core device

Missing case for WO. If you apply my suggestion with using traits you won't need to add a new extra case

In case a cache device has some dirty data purge will trigger flushing which will lead to nonzero values in stats thus suggest resetting stats after purge and drop caches

Btw instead of resetting stats of each core separately, how about using cache.reset_counters()? Additionally, I would move it to a separate step with a separate cache-based loop

I would say that testing more than one cache in a single iteration overcomplicates the code whereas the benefits of this approach are negligible. It could be a good idea to simplify it by testing only WT cache mode and leaving only one cache. In that case the most of my comments become irrelevant

needs modifications: the most important are parametrize by CacheMode and check stats logic
