1B - Mobile Integration Testing with Robot Framework - Spring 2021 IT Pro Forum

Robot Framework is an open-source framework that is utilized for automation and testing with applications. Robot Framework is a versatile framework that uses human-readable language to enable easier utilization of built-in keywords, and simpler execution of keyword libraries. The Appium Library is one such Keyword Library utilized in the Robot Framework script. The Appium Desktop GUI serves as a connection between the test device and the Robot Framework script. The GUI allows for the interactive inspection of an Application, allows the User to step through the Application while writing tests, and lets a User view element IDs, Classes, XPATHs, etc. without needing to access the source code. This presentation will demonstrate the successful implementation of all these pieces to test a mobile application.
