Robot Framework Tutorial

Robot Framework is a generic open-source automation framework. It can be used for test automation and robotic process automation (RPA). Mentioned below are a list of its features:

The framework was initially developed at Nokia Networks and was open-sourced in 2008.
Robot Framework is open and extensible and can be integrated with virtually any other tool to create powerful and flexible automation solutions.
Robot Framework has easy syntax, utilizing human-readable keywords. Its capabilities can be extended by libraries implemented with Python or Java.
The framework has a rich ecosystem around it, consisting of libraries and tools that are developed as separate projects.
Robot Framework is operating system and application independent. The core framework is implemented using Python and also runs on Jython (JVM) and IronPython (.NET).
Robot Framework itself is open-source software released under Apache License 2.0, and most of the libraries and tools in the ecosystem are also open source.

Over the past few weeks, I have been playing around with Robot Framework, and it has been an enriching experience. With its wide variety of features like modular structure, extensive set of libraries commands, inbuilt HTML reporting, simple command syntax etc; automation literally becomes fun.

So, based on my learnings and experience of working with Robot Framework these past few weeks, I have written few blogs explaining its different features and capabilities. Every blog includes a working example (a test script automating a scenario) with a detailed explanation. I have uploaded all the Test scripts to Github, you can directly check them out as well.
