Robot Framework: Onur Baskirt

Robot Framework is a generic test automation framework for acceptance and regression testing. It has a tabular test data syntax and supports keyword-driven testing. Tests are created using test libraries that extend its capabilities. The framework uses Python and is OS and app independent. It parses test data and uses keywords to interact with the system under test via libraries. Tests are run from the command line or RIDE IDE and output reports. The document provides steps to install Robot Framework and an example test case using its keywords.

What is Robot Framework?
▪ Robot Framework is a generic test automation framework.
▪ It has easy-to-use tabular test data syntax.
▪ It utilizes the keyword-driven testing approach.
▪ Its testing capabilities can be extended by test libraries.
▪ Users can create new higher-level keywords from existing ones using the same
syntax.
▪ It is operating system and application independent. The core framework is
implemented using Python.
▪ Robot Framework itself is open source.
Robot Framework Architecture and Test Flow
▪ When test execution is started, the framework
first parses the test data.
▪ It then utilizes keywords provided by the test
libraries to interact with the system under
test.
▪ Libraries can communicate with the system
either directly or using other test tools as
drivers.
▪ Test execution is started from the command
line and at the end of execution you get report
and log HTML format as well as XML output.
Libraries
▪ Test libraries provide the actual testing capabilities to Robot Framework by
providing keywords.
