Tutorial on
Automated Testing using Robotic Test Framework
Abstract
Abstract
Every software that is developed goes through the user acceptance testing phase. UAT can be time consuming and a cumbersome process.
Generally, UAT involves more than one cycle of testing as bugs raised in previous UAT cycle need to be rested in addition to performing end-to-end UAT testing cycle. In order to reduce the UAT cycle time – UAT test scripts can be written in Robotic test framework
Keywords
Robotic Test Framework, CI/CD, Keyword-driven, test-automation
Aims and Learning Objectives
This tutorial gives an insight to the user how to perform automation testing using robotic test framework
Target Audience
Developers,Testers,Business Analysts, Technical Architects
Prerequisite Knowledge of Audience
The audience shoould know different types of software testing and also should have basic knowledge of programming language.
Detailed Outline
Robotic test framework is an open-source framework. primarily used for acceptance testing, acceptance test-driven development (ATDD), and robotic process automation (RPA)
Its human-friendly and versatile syntax uses keywords and supports extending through libraries in Python, Java, and other languages.
It is a keyword-driven and supports both manual and automated testing of applications. It is highly extensible and can integrate with a range of external tools and libraries.
RTF is highly modular architecture of the robotic framework
Main Use Cases:
Test automation (functional & regression)
API testing
Web UI testing
Acceptance Testing
RPA (Robotic Process Automation)
RTF Architecture
Test Cases: Written in .robot files using human-readable keywords.
Test Libraries: Built-in or external (e.g., SeleniumLibrary, AppiumLibrary, RequestsLibrary).
Keywords: Define actions and logic in test cases. Can be:
Built-in
Library keywords
User-defined
Test Runner: Executes the test suites and generates reports/logs.
Reporting: Automatically generates detailed HTML-based logs, reports, and outputs

Test Case 3 - API Get Request
*** Settings ***
Library RequestsLibrary
*** Variables ***
${base_url} https://reqres.in
*** Test Cases ***
Get_Request
create session mysession ${base_url}
${endpoint} set variable /api/users?page=1/
${response}= get on session mysession ${endpoint}
log to console ${response.status_code}
log to console ${response.content}
#validations
${status_code}= convert to string ${response.status_code}
should be equal ${status_code} 200
${body}= convert to string ${response.content}
should contain ${body} Emma
Running the test scripts from CI/CD (Jenkins)
Installation of the Jenkins server on the local machine
Installing pre-requisite libraries (JRE, Java etc)
Creating Project in Jenkins Server
Running the Jenkins Server
Integrating the test scripts with the Jenkins Server
