Developing Applications and Automating Workflows Using Cisco Platforms (DEVASC) — Question 368

Which tool provides a testing environment to run tests on network devices and perform network automation scenarios?

Answer options

• A. Visual Studio Code
• B. Cisco VIRL
• C. pyATS
• D. Cisco Packet Tracer

Correct answer: B

Explanation

Cisco VIRL is specifically designed to simulate network environments and test network devices, making it the correct choice. Visual Studio Code is a code editor, pyATS is a testing framework but not an environment, and Cisco Packet Tracer is primarily for educational purposes and not as robust for extensive testing as Cisco VIRL.
