Demo test suite for Robotframework

This project will demo the use of the testing framework Robotframework. In particular the Selenium Library is used for UI testing as well as the Requests Library is used for API testing.

Run test suite in docker

docker-compose up This is using the docker image ppodgorsek/robot-framework from docker hub.

Run test suite locally

To run the test suite locally the following needs to be installed:

• Google Chrome
• Chrome Driver
• Python 3
• pip libraries:
  • robotframework
  • robotframework-seleniumlibrary
  • selenium
  • robotframework-requests

After installing all requirements the test suite can be executed with: robot --outputdir=./output-local --variable HEADLESS_BROWSER_ENABLED:False robot-tests

Test report

After the tests have been run the test report can be accessed from the output folder. e.g. output/report.html

Run test suite on Kubernetes

The file test-on-k8s.yml contains a definition to run the test suite inside a pod on a kubernetes cluster. With the command kubectl apply -f test-on-k8s.yml, this repo will be cloned to an "initContainer" and then executed inside the docker image ppodgorsek/robot-framework.
