It can be used for testing distributed, heterogeneous applications, where verification requires touching several technologies and interfaces Provides support for Selenium for web testing, Java GUI testing, running processes, Telnet, SSH, and so on.SeleniumJava GUI testingrunning processesTelnetSSH

All Rights Reserved Introduce Robot Framework  Provides a simple library API for creating customized test libraries which can be implemented natively with either Python or Java.library API  Provides a command line interface and XML based output files for integration into existing build infrastructure (continuous integration systems).command line interfaceoutput files  Supports creating data-driven test cases.data-driven test cases  Enables easy integration with source control  Provides test-case and test-suite -level setup and teardown.test-casetest-suite

6. © 2012 LogiGear Corporation. All Rights Reserved Introduce RIDE The Robot Framework is a mature tool to implement automated tests. With the help of the GUI application RIDE (= Robot IDE) and supported by its keyword-driven approach even less technical oriented people can start implementing testcases quite quickly.Robot Framework RIDE (= Robot IDE) RIDE is a test data editor for Robot Framework test data. It is possible to copy data between RIDE's grid based editors and spreadsheet programs such as Excel and OpenOffice.

All Rights Reserved Hierarchical structure  Test cases are created in test case files.  A test case file automatically creates a test suite containing the test cases in that file.  A directory containing test case files forms a higher- level test suite. Such a test suite directory has suites created from test case files as its sub test suites.  A test suite directory can also contain other test suite directories, and this hierarchical structure can be as deeply nested as needed.  Test suite directories can have a special initialization file.  Test libraries containing the lowest-level keywords.  Resource files with variables and higher-level user keywords.  Variable files to provide more flexible ways to create variables than resource files.

34. © 2012 LogiGear Corporation. All Rights Reserved Advanced Settings table [Force Tags] All test cases in a test case file with this setting always get specified tag [Default Tags] Test cases that do not have a [Tags] setting of their own get these tags.

37. © 2012 LogiGear Corporation. All Rights Reserved Advanced FOR Loop For loops can be used with both test cases and user keywords. Except for really simple cases, user keywords are better, because they hide the complexity introduced by for loops. The basic for loop syntax, FOR item IN sequence

39. © 2012 LogiGear Corporation. All Rights Reserved Advanced FOR Loop Exit For Loop keyword can be used directly in a for loop or in a keyword that the for loop uses. In both cases the test execution continues after the for loop. If executed outside of a for loop, the test fails.

41. © 2012 LogiGear Corporation. All Rights Reserved Advanced Test libraries Robot Framework's actual testing capabilities are provided by test libraries. There are many existing libraries, some of which are even bundled with the core framework, but there is still often a need to create new ones. Robot Framework itself is written with Python and naturally test libraries extending it can be implemented using the same language.Python When running the framework on Jython, libraries can also be implemented using Java. Pure Python code works both on Python and Jython, assuming that it does not use syntax or modules that are not available on Jython.JythonJava When using Python, it is also possible to implement libraries with C using Python C API, although it is often easier to interact with C code from Python libraries using ctypes module.Python C APIctypes
