Individually arrangedRobot Framework Training
Robot Framework allows teams to introduce automated tests that are understandable not only for technical staff. It is a Python-based framework using the Keyword Driven Testing (KDT) approach.
Who is this training for?
IT staff with minimal programming knowledge (e.g., juniors, manual testers). No prior Python knowledge is required.-
QA engineers who want to use tools that improve communication with the business side.
-
Manual testers who want to develop their skills and introduce automated testing in their company.
-
Developers responsible for testing their own software.
-
Automation testers who want to learn a new framework increasingly used in quality assurance.
What You Will Learn
- Practical and proven applications of Robot Framework
- How to convert manual test cases into automated ones
- How to quickly start writing automated tests without building complex architecture
- How to read reports to quickly and effectively detect software errors
- How to extend Robot Framework with custom keywords for specific modules
- How to write clean and readable code
