Discover Robot Framework for Test Automation

This blog is dedicated to the Robot Framework. Robot Framework is a generic and awesome open-source automation framework. Robot Framework can be used for test automation and robotic process automation. This blog post will explain how to use Robot Framework in your project and how can you solve problems in your project.

What is the Robot Framework? Why should you use it?

Robot Framework is implemented in Python but it can run on Jython(Java) and IronPython(.Net). Other language support has been extended using a remote interface.

Robot Framework is open source and has a very rich ecosystem and community support. I will explain the Robot Framework ecosystem below in the blog. Robot Framework is probably one of the most worthwhile test automation frameworks available in the market. In terms of value for money, it’s on the top of the list. Here are a few features which make Robot Framework irresistible.

You can connect with the core team and other developers and testers using slack and twitter as mentioned below.

Robot Framework Architecture

Robot Framework is a generic, application and technology-independent framework. It has a highly modular architecture illustrated in the diagram below.

Robot Framework EcoSystem

Robot Framework supports a very rich ecosystem. It helps test engineers to create test scripts using builtin and extended libraries. I have used Robot Framework in the last two industrial projects. It helped me to create automation tests around UI, APIs, Robotics and Mobile automation tests. You can find all the important library information on the homepage of the Robot framework official site.

Precondition- Robot Framework is implemented with Python so before installing the robot framework, you have to install Python (I would suggest working with Python3 as Python2 is going end of life). In case you want to use Jython(JVM) or IronPython(.NET) then please install respective interpreters.

Installation with pip- You can use a python installer package to install the robot framework as you will already have “pip” with python installation.

Command- pip install robotframework

Note: You can refer to other ways of installation also, for example, using Maven, getting source code from GitHub or PyPI. You can follow the below-mentioned document.

Robot Framework Supported Editors

The Robot Framework supports multiple editors. Here are few editors supported with the Robot Framework.
