In NetDevOps, it is standard to have a "Continuous Development" approach to network changes.  Proposed network changes are picked up by build servers which manage the progression from "Development" to "Test" and into "Production".  NetDevOps will mirror what is becoming commonplace in software development teams.

Network Builders focus on the care and feeding of the network, making sure it's available for the "consumers". The Network Consumers are the users of the network, and expect to treat the network like a utility - it "should just work".
