Today on the show, we will be talking to Adam Byczkowski from Network to Code about code testing in network automation. This is an important topic that is often overlooked in Network Automation, especially if we are just getting our feet wet in the space.
I was very happy to see Adam wrote about code testing in the network automation space via a 3-part blog series. I invited Adam on the show to talk about his journey, code testing, and testing in the network automation world.
I know we will learn a lot from Adam. Let’s dive right in!
