Another automation post...how are you code testing?

Hi All...

Question to all of you folks that are developing your networks as code.

As most in the software development world presumably know, all good code is tested once or many times as you move that code to production. I'm curious about how this looks in the networking world.

What strategies are you using to test your network and code?

Do you have unit tests directly in your code? Are you testing the resultant network configurations and/or state as extensively as the code itself?

Do you have external systems that test the before, during and after states of the network deployments?

Are there certain deployment tools that are better for networking code than others?

Many platforms have dev, stage and prod environments. Are you using a similar methodology for automating networks?

Look forward to hearing more!
