Description

This 6 hour course provides a complete overview of all aspects of Robot Framework (web, API, database, XML file system tests). You’ll learn how to install and configure it, how to create and run your very first Selenium Webdriver-based script, and then how to use variables, custom keywords, page objects, and layers to produce enterprise-quality test suites.

I’ll also walk you through the fundamentals of creating tests using the API, database, XML, and File System libraries so you can script complex end to end test scenarios across all application tiers. Check out the “Course Content” below for all the details.

Prerequisites

  1. This course assumes you have a software testing background and you know how to create a manual test case (containing a verification) as a basis for your automated tests.
  2. The course will briefly demonstrate the use of Jenkins and CSS selectors, so if you’re not familiar with those, please also take the Level 2 course.
  3. Robot Framework tests are command line-driven, so that is a recommended topic for additional study if you’ve never used it. I will cover command line basics in the course, however, so you will not be held back by this skill.
