RobotFramework-Plus Tool Collection

This is a Collection of RobotFramework tools, functionality not yet provided by the RobotFramework test-framework (2.8.1).

The features are:

• Embedding charts into the test-reports, for example to illustrate performance measurements etc.

• Extended process management functionality.

The Chart-tool generates SVG diagrams and embeds them into the test-report wihtout external files or references.

Requirenments

The tool collection extends RobotFramework 2.8.1 and in addition requires the svg.charts Python-library and must be available on the machine. The following command must be executed to install svg.charts with root permission:

sudo pip install robotframework svg.charts robotframeworkplus

The environment variable PYTHONPATH should point to the directory where the tool colleciton is located, for example

export PYTHONPATH=$HOME/robotframeworkplus/lib

Executing the demo-tests:

PYTHONPATH=$HOME/robotframeworkplus/lib pybot $HOME/robotframework_tools/demo

The bar-chart will be embedded into the report.html file and can be viewed by web-browser (see docs/screenshot-chart.png),
