Introduction:

1. An introduction to Robot Framework http://robotframework.org © Copyright Nokia Networks Creative Commons Attribution 3.0 License 2. Fast facts

● Generic test automation framework

– Utilizes the keyword-driven testing approach – Suitable for both “normal” test automation and ATDD

● Implemented with Python – Runs also on Jython (JVM) and IronPython (.NET) – Can be extended natively using Python or Java – Other languages supported via a remote interface ● Open source – Hosted on GitHub, Apache 2 license – Sponsored by Nokia Networks – Rich ecosystem and very active community

3. High level architecture
4. Simple keyword-driven syntax
5. Data-driven tests
6. Gherkin syntax
7. Higher level keywords
8. Simple test library API

9. Variables

   ● Easy to create: ● Override from the command line: ­­variable BROWSER:IE

10. Tagging

    ● Free metadata to categorize test cases ● Statistics by tags collected automatically ● Select test cases to be executed ● Specify which test cases are considered critical

11. Clear reports
12. Detailed logs

13. Different test libraries

    ● Standard libraries – Included in normal installation – OperatingSystem, Screenshot, String, Telnet, XML, … ● External libraries – Must be installed separately – Selenium2Library, SwingLibrary, DatabaseLibrary, AutoItLibrary, SSHLibrary, HTTPLibrary, … ● Project and team specific libraries

14. Editor support

    ● RIDE ● Plugins for Eclipse, IntelliJ/PyCharm, SubLime, TextMate, Vim, Emacs, Brackets, Atom, …

15. Easy integration

    ● Test suites are created from files and directories – Trivial to store into any version control system ● Simple command line interface – Easy to start test execution by external tools ● Output also in XML format – All information in machine readable format – Outputs from different test runs can be combined ● Plugins for common CI and build tools – Jenkins, Ant, Maven
