The Cisco Continuous Automation and Integration Testing (CAIT) service utilizes CX Test Automation Manager (CXTM) as a test automation solution 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 open-source 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 an intuitive GUI, CXTM offers a full northbound REST API for NetDevOps environments, or integration
with other tooling. In this session, participants will build a NetDevOps CI/CD pipeline with GitLab using Python, Terraform, and CXTM for deployment and testing operations. For the testing stages
of the pipeline, participants will create test automation using CXTM as part of the CAIT service add-on to validate an ACI fabric deployed using Services as Code (SaC) with ACI as Code (AaC).
