Automated Testing Based On Robot Framework

Robot Framework is a generic test automation framework for acceptance testing and acceptance test-driven development (ATDD). It has a tabular test data syntax and uses a keyword-driven testing approach. Robot Framework is operating system and application independent, and its core is implemented in Python but also supports Jython and IronPython. It contains standard and external libraries that can be used to test applications like Android, JavaFX, databases, web services, and more. Tests are written in simple Given, When, Then statements.

automation of
e2e UI tests

by Wojciech Górecki
Automated testing – what for?

• To (eventually) lower workload


• To eliminate „human error”
• For regression
Advantages of automated testing

Automated testing is perfect for


• regression/repetitive testing
• long lasting tests
• testcases with a lot of input data
• Test scenarios with many middle steps
Disadvantages of automated testing

• Long time of creating a testcase


• Requires detailed description of tested functionality
• Requires discipline among testers (same test stack)
• Some scenarios are to complexed to be covered by
automated testcases
• Lack of libraries to cover some interfaces

What is Robot Framework?

• Robot Framework is a generic test automation


framework for acceptance testing and acceptance
test-driven development (ATDD). It has easy-to-use
tabular test data syntax and it utilizes the keyword-

application independent. The core framework is
implemented using Python and runs also on Jython
(JVM) and IronPython (.NET).
