Robot Framework

The Robot Framework (https://robotframework.org) is a generic open source test framework for automation with emphasis put on acceptance tests. It uses "keyword driven" tests and can be matched with any test objects by the use of external libraries.

LF‑ET generates a Robot file for each decision table containing all test cases that can be derived from the decision table.

A short overview is presented below:

  • All pre- and post-conditions for a test case are collected and finally stored in respective setup- and teardown keywords at the end of the Robot file

  • Test cases are assigned automatically to certain categories by LF‑ET through tags; the said categories are then evaluated additionally by the Robot Framework at test execution:

  • Further individual evaluations can be created by user defined tags
