The basic ideas for Robot Framework were shaped in Pekka Klärck's masters thesis[3] in 2005. The first version was developed at Nokia Networks the same year. Version 2.0 was released as open source software June 24, 2008 and version 3.0.2 was released February 7, 2017.[4]
The framework is written using the Python programming language and has an active community of contributors. It is released under Apache License 2.0 and can be downloaded from robotframework.org.
In 2020 survey it scored 8 among 12 test automation frameworks, with 3 % of respondents using it.[5] In 2021 it had fallen to 18 among 22 with 2 % usage.[6]
Descriptionedit
Test cases are written using a keyword-testing methodology written in a tabular format. These tables can be written in plain text, tab-separated values (TSV), or reStructuredText (reST) formats files[7] in any text editor or using the Robot Integrated Development Environment (RIDE).[8] RIDE simplifies writing test cases by providing framework-specific code completion, syntax highlighting, etc.
Examplesedit
The following test case implements a Hello, World! example:
*** Test Cases ***DemoLogHello world
Log is a built-in keyword that logs the given parameter to the test report generated by Robot Framework.
With SeleniumLibrary,[9] writing tests for web applications is very easy too:
*** Test Cases ***DemoOpen Browserhttps://www.google.comieInput Textid=lst-ibHollywood CelebritiesClick ButtonGoogle Search
This test opens a new Internet Explorer browser window with Google and performs an Internet search for "Hollywood Celebrities" by pressing the button "Google Search".
