Selenium with Robot Framework Tool

Selenium with Robot Framework Tool:

Yes, you are reading right selenium can be integrated with the existing framework which is "Robot Framework". Its developed in python language and it can compatible with jython as well i.e. we can test Java developed applications as well and of course python developed application too.

Basically, Robot Framework works with Build-in(Internal) library and External library. On top of these library automation engineer develops code to test application in automation.

Here Selenium library is called as Selenium2Library :

Java - https://github.com/MarkusBernhardt/robotframework-selenium2library-java#readme

Python - https://github.com/robotframework/Selenium2Library

 this external library needs to be added as a plug-in in robot framework. Then we can access their APIs in the actual our testing framework.

Personally I feel with python it is very easy to consume existing API's when we extend the automation framework.
