Robot Framework An Introduction

Agenda 1. basic concepts in Robot Framework 2. demo 3. pros and cons

facts ● keyword-driven test framework ● built on Python ○ runs on Jython and IronPython as well ● open source ○ released under apache 2.0 license

framework architecture Test Cases RF Test Library SUT parsing test data syntax interaction with SUT calling functions

also in TSV and plain text ● tip: text-based test case works better with version-control system

Test Libraries How RF translate test cases into actions

Test Libraries It can be written in Python But you can use Jython or IronPython to be able to use Java or .Net APIs

Remote Libraries libraries can be written in any languages communicate with RF using XML-RPC you can have a "master" computer execute the tests by calling remote libraries running on other computers * (

Basic Element - Keywords You can define keywords in library...

Basic Element - Keywords ...or test cases

Different Test Style Keyword-driven

Different Test Style Data-driven

Different Test Style Behavior-driven

Test Execution tag support nice test result in HTML

Test Execution nice test result in HTML file:///C:/dev/rf/report.html

Crash course at http://robotframework.googlecode. com/hg/doc/quickstart/quickstart.html and it is also a test case (now run a demo on it to show the awesomeness)

To sum up Pro it's very simple to be integrated into CI system flexible test execution system you can extend the test system easily Con relatively small community compares to Fitnesse
