Robot Framework
Robot Framework allows teams to introduce automated tests that are understandable not only for technical staff.
Ideal for teams that…
Software testing and quality — automation and QA methodologies.
Practical and proven applications of Robot Framework
How to convert manual test cases into automated ones
How to quickly start writing automated tests without building complex architecture
How to read reports to quickly and effectively detect software errors
How to extend Robot Framework with custom keywords for specific modules
How to write clean and readable code
What we actually do
- · Module 1: Introduction Demo – running simple tests and showing reports Training plan (timeframe, agenda, breaks, other organizational matters) Introduction round (participants’ roles and motivations) Training objectives (example of RF in action)
- · Module 2: Testing Basics What testing is and its goals Manual vs automated tests What automation is and its objectives
- · Module 3: Preparation for Automation Exploring and understanding the system Identifying areas for automation Introduction to Robot Framework Preparing test cases
- · Module 4: Introduction to Robot Framework Why it’s so powerful (libraries, built-in keywords, types of tests) Installation, version check, execution File sections Settings Variables Test Cases Tasks Keywords Comments Supported file types Case sensitivity and underscores
- · Module 5: First Automated Test Case Dry test case using built-in keywords RF output files (output.xml, log.html, report.html, xunit.xml) Reading and understanding test reports Creating a failing test and analyzing results
- · Module 6: Variables Introduction to variables, syntax Scalar $, List @, Dictionary &, Numbers Built-in variables Variable tables and files Command line variables
- · Module 7: Libraries Using keywords from built-in libraries Loading third-party libraries
- · Module 8: Writing Custom Keywords Keyword Driven Testing (KDT) approach Creating keywords – name, arguments, return values Returning different types from keywords Python equivalents
- · Module 9: Advanced Keywords Arguments (default, named, embedded in keyword) Exercises creating custom keywords
- · Module 10: Code Execution Control FOR loops Conditional execution (Run Keyword If, Set Variable If)
- · Module 11: Organizing Tests and Execution Control Combining tests into suites File organization and section order
- · Module 12: Command Line Options Tagging – include and exclude Other options
- · Module 13: Logging and Reading Output
- · Module 14: Setup and Teardown Preparing and cleaning up data Suite-level and test-level setup/teardown
- · Module 15: Global Variables, Suites, and Tests
- · Module 16: Additional Topics Documenting code Resource files Data Driven Testing (DDT) Behavior Driven Development (BDD) with Gherkin
- · Module 17: GUI Testing with Selenium Library
- · Module 18: Coding Guidelines
- · Module 19: Advanced Topics YAML files Test parallelization (pabot) Creating libraries
- · Module 20: Closing Certificates Feedback survey
