Description iTest 8.1 Release Announcement iTest is a Python-Based Network Automation and Verification IDE. It provides automation authoring, execution and reporting, all as automated, on-demand workflows that integrate seamlessly with your DevOps tool chain. iTest introduces three powerful enhancements in Release 8.1. The Linux Terminal (bash) session extends capture replay to the default Linux shell. Form Maps make abstraction possible for web testing with Selenium, and QuickCalls make abstraction possible in iTest. 8.1 brings REST Session Logging, by allowing iTest to display the exact curl command that it executed. Finally, the integration between iTest and Velocity will continue to strengthen in future releases.   Sales Trainings will be held Wednesday, January 8 and Thursday, January 9, 2020.   Each major release of iTest is driven by themes that determine feature selection.
