Cisco’s CX Test Automation Manager (CXTM) is an end-to-end test automation solution used in multiple Cisco service offers
to accelerate customer adoption of new technologies and IT services in their own networks. A key benefit of CXTM lies in
the easy-to-use automation with Robot Framework and the thousands of Robot keywords offered as part of the reusable test
libraries for interacting with both Cisco and third-party devices alike. In addition to providing an intuitive GUI, CXTM
offers a full northbound REST API for NetDevOps environments or integrating with other tooling. In this session,
participants will work hands-on with CXTM to create test automation to validate a network environment containing IOS-XE,
IOS-XR, and NXOS devices over CLI, REST API, and NETCONF. Participants will further make use of curated test automation
from CXTM's accelerator package libraries of pre-built automation to provide test automation off the shelf. Concluding the lab,
participants will build a NetDevOps CI/CD pipeline with CXTM leveraging Cisco Modeling Labs (CML), GitLab, Python, and Ansible
for testing operations. Participants will achieve all this by following a concise lab that is focused on details, references, and more.
