Pre-Automated Test Cases

A significant benefit of CXTM, and associated service offers, is the "pre-built" automation included. In addition to the extensive list of keywords and parsers included in the CXTA collection of libraries, CXTM also offers libraries of pre-built automated test cases that can be imported into projects in a similar way to how you imported test cases into your own project in this lab.

These test cases are intended to serve as building blocks to accelerate automation development. Once a Topology file has been defined, you should only need to add the variables specific to your test environment to make use of these automated test cases. In the following steps, you'll modify the pre-built automated test cases you imported from the Template project earlier in the lab.
