Robot Framework is a generic open source automation framework. It can be used for test automation and robotic process automation (RPA). Robot Framework is supported by Robot Framework Foundation. Many industry-leading companies use the tool in their software development. Robot Framework is open and extensible. Robot Framework can be integrated with virtually any other tool to create powerful and flexible automation solutions. Robot Framework is free to use without licensing costs. Robot Framework has an easy syntax, utilizing human-readable keywords. Its capabilities can be extended by libraries implemented with Python, Java or many other programming languages. Robot Framework has a rich ecosystem around it, consisting of libraries and tools that are developed as separate projects.
Features
- Robot Framework requires Python 3.6 or newer and runs also on PyPy
- Tests (or tasks) are executed from the command line using the robot command or by executing the robot module directly like python -m robot
- Robot Framework development is sponsored by non-profit Robot Framework Foundation
- Robot Framework is operating system and application independent
- It is implemented using Python which is also the primary language to extend it.
- Acceptance testing, acceptance test driven development (ATDD), and robotic process automation (RPA)
