Revolutionizing Web-UI Testing: Keyword-Driven Testing with Robot Framework & Playwright
The landscape of web-UI testing is rapidly evolving, with a growing need for tools that offer speed, reliability, and flexibility. Enter Robot Framework: an open-source, keyword-driven test automation framework that simplifies the process of writing and communicating test cases. This full-day workshop, hosted by René Rohner and supported by Jani Haapala, delves into the power of Robot Framework combined with the Playwright-based "Robot Framework Browser" library. This combination offers a potent solution for modern web-UI testing challenges.
What We'll Cover:
- Introduction to Robot Framework: What it is, its ecosystem, and its benefits for web-UI testing.
- Kickstarting with Robot Framework Syntax: A primer for those new to the framework or looking to brush up their skills.
- Exploring the Browser Library: How it stands out from SeleniumLibrary, focusing on keyword design, speed, and advanced features for dynamic web applications.
- Hands-On Practice: Participants will engage in exercises using either a prepared Gitpod.io environment with their web browser or a local setup with Robot Framework. This approach ensures practical experience with the framework and the Browser library, from basic navigation to leveraging advanced functionalities.
Gitpod.io Introduction:
For those seeking a hassle-free setup, Gitpod.io offers a cloud-based development environment pre-configured for Robot Framework usage. This option eliminates local installation requirements, allowing participants to focus solely on learning and experimentation. A Github.com account is needed. 50h per month free usage.
