Robot Framework Test Automation (Paperback)

Create test suites and automated acceptance tests from scratch

Overview

• Create a Robot Framework test file and a test suite
• Identify and differentiate between different test case writing styles
• Full of easy- to- follow steps, to get you started with Robot Framework

In Detail

Testing has traditionally been a part of software development, and has always involved a lot of manual effort. It can be automated with Robot Framework, which offers numerous benefits from cost saving to increased quality assurance in the software delivery. This book will help you to start designing test suites and Automated Acceptance Tests.

Helping you to get started with automating acceptance tests, this book will provide a detailed overview of acceptance test management practices and principles. You will also be introduced to advanced techniques that you can use to customize the test suite, along with helpful tips and tricks to extend and leverage it in a wide variety of scenarios.

Starting with a detailed explanation of the need for automated acceptance test driven development, this guide will help you with an empty test project creation and execution for proof of concept, and validation of installation. This book will also cover the Robot Framework in detail, and will help you test desktop applications using Java Swing. You will gain an in-depth knowledge of tricky activities, such as setting up a test environment and using it with Selenium.

You will also learn about other popular libraries, and how to test network protocols, web services, and databases. This book will cover the entire Robot Framework with real- world practical material to make its content informative and interesting.

By the end of this book you will be able to write acceptance tests for desktop and web applications, as well as know how to extend acceptance testing in other scenarios that are commonly devoid of tests, and present the results appropriately.

What you will learn from this book

• Create and run a basic test over Robot Framework to validate the setup
• Customize a test with reusable components and introduce test reuse
• Identify the different files and tables used in tests
• Extend the framework by using third party libraries to work with other tools
• Parameterize the test cases and get data into the tests /color]
• Create derived reports using the report metadata
• Use external resources to feed data into tests
• Set up the Robot Framework and run its basic test

Approach

Written in an engaging, easy-to-follow style, this practical guide will teach you to create test suites and automated acceptance Tests with the Robot Framework.

Who this book is written for

If you are an automation engineer, QA engineer, developer or tester who is looking to get started with Robot Framework, as well as find a standardized testing solution, this book is ideal for you. No prior knowledge of Robot Framework or acceptance testing is required, although a basic knowledge of Python is required for few sections of the book.

創建測試套件和自動接受測試

概述
- 創建 Robot Framework 測試檔案和測試套件
- 辨識並區分不同的測試案例撰寫風格
- 提供易於遵循的步驟，讓您快速上手 Robot Framework

詳細內容
傳統上，測試一直是軟體開發的一部分，並且一直需要大量的手動工作。使用 Robot Framework 可以自動化測試，從節省成本到提高軟體交付的品質保證，帶來許多好處。本書將幫助您開始設計測試套件和自動接受測試。

本書將幫助您開始自動化接受測試，提供詳細的接受測試管理實踐和原則概述。您還將介紹一些高級技巧，可用於自定義測試套件，以及有用的技巧和訣竅，以在各種場景中擴展和利用它。

從詳細解釋自動接受測試驅動開發的需求開始，本指南將幫助您創建並執行空白測試專案，以驗證概念證明和安裝驗證。本書還將詳細介紹 Robot Framework，並幫助您使用 Java Swing 測試桌面應用程式。您將深入了解一些棘手的活動，例如建立測試環境並與 Selenium 一起使用。

您還將學習其他流行的函式庫，以及如何測試網路協議、網路服務和資料庫。本書將全面介紹 Robot Framework，並提供實用的真實世界材料，使內容充滿資訊且有趣。

通過本書，您將能夠為桌面和網路應用程式撰寫接受測試，並了解如何在其他常常缺乏測試的場景中擴展接受測試並適當呈現結果。

本書將教您以下內容：
- 創建並執行基本的 Robot Framework 測試以驗證設定
- 使用可重複使用的元件自訂測試並引入測試重複使用
- 辨識在測試中使用的不同檔案和表格
- 使用第三方函式庫擴展框架以與其他工具一起使用
- 對測試案例進行參數化並將資料輸入測試
- 使用報告元資料創建衍生報告
- 使用外部資源將資料輸入測試
- 設定 Robot Framework 並執行其基本測試

方法
本書以引人入勝、易於遵循的風格撰寫，將教您使用 Robot Framework 創建測試套件和自動接受測試。

本書適合以下讀者：
- 自動化工程師、品質保證工程師、開發人員或測試人員，希望開始使用 Robot Framework，並尋找標準化的測試解決方案
- 不需要 Robot Framework 或接受測試的先備知識，但需要基本的 Python 知識以理解本書的某些部分。
