Robot Framework with Python - Notes

Introduction to Robot Framework

Robot Framework is an open-source test automation framework for acceptance testing and acceptance test-driven

development (ATDD). It uses keyword-driven testing and can integrate with various tools and libraries to extend its

functionality.

Key Features:

- Easy syntax

- Extensibility through Python and Java libraries

- Built-in libraries for various needs

- Supports data-driven and behavior-driven testing

Installation:

- Install Python (if not already installed)

- Use the command: pip install robotframework

Basics of Robot Framework Syntax

Robot Framework uses plain text syntax, which includes:

- Test Cases and Keywords: Defined in test case files using keywords.

- Variables: Can be defined within the test cases or in a separate file.

- Libraries: Built-in and external libraries can be imported for additional functionalities.

- Resource Files: Separate files where variables, keywords, and settings can be defined for reuse.

Python Integration with Robot Framework

Robot Framework allows integration with Python to create custom libraries and keywords.

Using Python Libraries:

- Any Python library can be used by importing it in the test suite.

Creating Custom Keywords:

- Define functions in Python and make them accessible as keywords in Robot Framework.

- Example:

```python

# my_keywords.py

def custom_keyword():

print("This is a custom keyword.")

```

In Robot Framework:

```robot

*** Settings ***

Library my_keywords.py

*** Test Cases ***

Test Custom Keyword

custom_keyword

```

Running Tests

Robot Framework tests can be run from the command line:

- To execute tests, use: `robot <test_suite_directory>`

- Use command-line options for specific requirements, such as tags or output directories.

Parallel Execution:

- With tools like Pabot, tests can be run in parallel, improving test efficiency for large suites.

Best Practices and Tips

- Organize test cases logically, with reusable keywords.

- Handle errors gracefully with proper error-handling strategies.

- Use tags to filter tests and create meaningful reports.

- Always review logs and reports for troubleshooting and analysis.

Following these best practices can help maintain a clear, maintainable test suite in Robot Framework.
