Robot Framework Automation Test

This repository consists of robotframework automation scripts for demoqawebsite.

The Robot Framework is a generic test automation framework for acceptance testing and acceptance test-driven development (ATDD). It is a keyword-driven testing framework that uses tabular test data syntax. The Robot Framework is written in Python.

We will use it to design the test automation framework.

All relevant test scripts and resources files are located at /BrowserTests and /Resources folders.

/Resources folders

• BrowserResources.robot : all web elements (css/xpath)
• BrowserParameters.robot : configurable variables / test data , e.g. hostname/IP/username/password
• BrowserFunctions.robot : custom keywords which form a set of repetitive actions/steps to be called in the main test cases.

Read below guide to setup test environment at Ubuntu laptop, and steps to run tests.

Test Environment Setup

Pre-requisite: demoqa Website

demoqa Website is up and running. (https://demoqa.com/dynamic-properties)

To run robot scripts at your local machine, perform below steps:

Step 1: Install node js and npm

NPM is an open-source test automation tool.

We will use npm often to install package at command line, so install nodejs which npm is bundled with it together.

Step 3: Install Pycharm

This is the IDE which we will use to design and execute test cases. https://www.jetbrains.com/help/pycharm/installation-guide.html#toolbox

https://www.jetbrains.com/help/pycharm/pipenv.html

(Install jar from Pycharm - File - Settings - Plugin - Settings - install plugin from disk - add jar file - restart) https://github.com/lte2000/intellibot/blob/master/intellibot.jar

Step 4: Clone Project Repo

Clone this project to your local machine.

Step 5: Install Robot Framework and libraries

Once project repo is cloned, run Pycharm and open this project.

At Pycharm terminal:

Pip install robotframework

Robot Framework is successfully installed. You can check it using the version command.

robot –-version

For the website UI testing, Browser Library is used. install it:

pip install robotframework-browser

Install the node dependencies:

rfbrowser init

if rfbrowser is not found, try

python -m Browser.entry init

Test Case Execution

1. At Pycharm - Terminal (located at bottom of IDE)

Navigate to path \BrowserTests Run:

robot test1.robot

To run a subset case (example, 001-corpus-sorting-corpus-name in 005-Corpus-Sorting.robot) within a test case: Run:

robot -t "001*"    test1.robot
