Robot Framework

Our Expert's Opinion

After working with tools like Selenium and other test frameworks, Robot Framework feels very friendly and powerful, but not perfect. I like that the keyword style makes tests easy to read and share with people who are not programmers, and the many libraries for web, API, and database testing give you a lot of options. It also has clear HTML reports, which help you see what went wrong in a test. However, the keyword tables can become big and hard to manage in large projects, and sometimes it feels slower and heavier than writing tests directly in code. Debugging failures can also be tricky, especially when many custom keywords are stacked on each other. Overall, Robot Framework is a strong choice if you want readable, reusable tests and like the keyword style, but it may feel limiting or noisy if you prefer pure code and very fine control.
