Robot Selenium

The Robot Framework is an open-source test automation framework used for acceptance testing and acceptance test-driven development (ATDD). It integrates well with Selenium WebDriver, making it a powerful tool for automated testing of web applications. Here’s an overview of how to use Robot Framework with Selenium:

Key Features of Robot Framework

  1. Keyword-Driven Approach: Tests are written using keywords, which makes the test code more readable and easier to write for non-programmers.
  2. Extensible: Can be extended with Python or Java libraries.
  3. Support for Web Testing: With the SeleniumLibrary, Robot Framework is widely used for automated web testing.

Setting Up Robot Framework with Selenium

  1. Install Python: Since Robot Framework is implemented in Python, make sure Python is installed on your system.
  2. Install Robot Framework:
    bash
    pip install robotframework
  3. Install SeleniumLibrary:
    bash
    pip install --upgrade robotframework-seleniumlibrary
  4. Install WebDriver: Download the WebDriver for your browser (e.g., ChromeDriver for Chrome) and ensure it’s accessible in your system’s PATH.

Writing a Test Case

  1. Create a Test File: Robot Framework tests are written in plain text files. Create a new file with a .robot extension.
  2. Define Test Cases: Write test cases using the keyword-driven syntax. You will use keywords from SeleniumLibrary to interact with web elements.

Example Test Case

Here’s a simple example of a Robot Framework test case to open a web page and verify its title:

robot
*** Settings ***
Documentation Simple test case to open a webpage and check its title
Library SeleniumLibrary

*** Variables ***
${BROWSER} Chrome
${URL} https://www.example.com
${EXPECTED_TITLE} Example Domain

*** Test Cases ***
Open Web Page and Check Title
Open Browser ${URL} ${BROWSER}
Title Should Be ${EXPECTED_TITLE}
Close Browser

Running the Test

  • Run the test from the command line:
    bash
    robot my_test.robot
  • Robot Framework will execute the test case using Selenium WebDriver, opening the specified web browser, navigating to the URL, and checking the page title.

Best Practices

  • Modularize Tests: Use separate sections for settings, variables, test cases, and keywords.
  • Custom Keywords: Create custom keywords for common functionalities to make tests more readable and maintainable.
  • Data-Driven Tests: Utilize Robot Framework’s capabilities to create data-driven tests.
  • Continuous Integration: Integrate your Robot Framework tests into CI/CD pipelines.

Conclusion:

Robot Framework, combined with Selenium Library, is a powerful and flexible tool for automated web testing. Its keyword-driven approach and extensibility make it suitable for both testers and developers. By writing tests in an easy-to-understand format, Robot Framework facilitates effective communication among team members and stakeholder.
