Abstract
Telecommunication industry is growing exponentially with the network elements and its operation. As a result, managing network elements and its behaviors has become a challenging task and even time consuming. Integrating and verifying the network elements manually requires more time and human efforts to perform, therefore to increase the efficiency and decrease the efforts, time and errors, robot automation can be used. In this paper, the process, usage and importance of robot automation for network elements is explained. This keyword driven framework is highly extensible with reusable keywords, simple library packages are available in both python and java. In the output of the process, a detailed report and log files are generated in XML format for easy understanding and analysis. These features of robot framework help in getting quick and efficient result. The primary integration process is performed in the NetAct application that can be used for monitoring, analyzing and managing the network element operation and functionality verifications in all the phases. In this context, summary of robot automation framework utilization for integrating and verifying different types of network elements is discussed.
