Robot framework is another python framework which is used to do the automation testing over the network or testing of the website with predefined qualities like checking of the login with username and password

There are builtin libraries like “Remote ,Telnet, Date time, Dialogs , Operating System & Process “

Test Suit Results

Every Test suite results are shown in the form of the xml or html & log format documentation.

How To implement Robot

The robot framework files having the .robot extension and these are will be triggered by the command in command line like robot filename.robot

Example files and structure:

example.robot file structure like below

*** Settings ***
Documentation Example suite
Suite Setup Do Something ${MESSAGE}
Force Tags example
Library SomeLibrary

*** Variables ***
${MESSAGE} Hello, world!

*** Keywords ***
Do Something
[Arguments] ${args}
Some Keyword ${arg}
Another Keyword

Writing the custom PYTHON files and import into robot then using

Let us take the one simple python file which is consisting of the one class with the functions,

xtest.py

Class Xtest:
def __init__(self, **kwargs):
print(“keyword arguments are :”,kwargs)

def make_connection(self,):
print(“make connection function is called …..”)

if “__name__” == __main__:
xtest = Xtest(name=’venkatesh’, relation= ‘single’)

How to import xtest.py to .robot file & how to access the class and functions:

There is one condition which is using for the use of custom python files importing (i.e) making the files available in the python path , like what are the default libraries present in the robot are already present in the python path ,so the libraries are directly imported without doing any extra work. Make a .sh file which will export the your current directory path to python path , remember this export only available in this shell only.

environment.sh

export LOGSPATH=”${PWD}/logs”
export PYTHONPATH=”${PYTHONPATH};${PWD}”
echo $PYTHONPATH

then change in the example.robot file:

*** Settings ***
Documentation Example using the space separated plain text format.
Library OperatingSystem
Library xtest.Xtest name=venkatesh relation= single WITH NAME remote

*** Variables ***
${MESSAGE} Hello, world!
# list variables declaration
@{names} venky snehitha ravi akash srujan

*** Test Cases ***
Check connection
[Documentation] Example test to check class is accessible or not
${ret} remote.make_connection

you can declare multiple test cases like above and these are executed by one by one
