As the idea of treating your infrastructure as code (via CI/CD) becomes more and more popular in the networking space, the testing and validation best practices that are present in traditional software development pipelines are often left out of the conversation. The idea of testing your code in a "dev/qa/staging/production" progression that is part of software pipelines, does not have a straightforward 1:1 mapping into network infrastructure pipelines. After discussing these various challenges and reasons for those challenges, Anthony Miloslavsky will dive into the ways you can integrate testing into these pipelines today. Starting from static one-off post change checkouts, to automated reusable post change checkouts, and ending with incorporating network simulation into your pipelines to achieve pre and post change testing.
