expect-like pattern, Lux offers
simplified syntax, regular expressions support, switching between multiple
concurrent sessions, extensive logging, post mortem analysis, debugging, and
more. Testing with Lux can be a part of more valuable processes, like

etc. It is well known for test automation for developing Cisco Network Service
Orchestrator (NSO) with 4500 test cases per run.
