Robot Framework

Robot Framework is a generic test automation framework for acceptance testing and acceptance test-driven development. It is a keyword-driven testing framework that uses tabular test data syntax.

With qase-robotframework you can publish the results of your automated test runs to your Qase project using the public API endpoints.

Installation

To integrate Qase into your project, follow these steps:

Activate the Robot Framework App

To activate the app, go to the ‘Apps’ section in your workspace, and click on ‘Activate’.
Switch to the ‘Access tokens’ tab, and create a new API token from here. Save the API token, as we’ll need it in the following steps.

Add qase-robotframework to your project

To install the reporter, run the following command in a virtual environment 🔗:

pip install qase-robotframework

Add a configuration file for the reporter

At the very least, the reporter will need two variables defined – your Robot Framework App’s Token, and the Qase Project you want to publish the results to:

Ensure that this file is placed in the root of your project.

{
  "debug": false,
  "testops": {
    "api": {
      "token": "<app-token>"
    },
    "project": "<project-code>"
  }
}

Please refer to this article for guidance on how to find your Project code in Qase.

Verify the integration

Let’s verify the integration, we’ll use a simple test to check if the results are being published to your Qase project. Create a tests/ directory in the root of your project and add the following test:

Simple Addition Test  
    ${result}=    Evaluate    1 + 1  
    Should Be Equal    ${result}    2

Now, let’s run the test by executing the following command:

QASE_MODE=testops robot --listener qase.robotframework.Listener ./tests/test_addition.robot

In the above command, we’re setting the reporter’s mode to testops using the Environment variable QASE_MODE. You can learn more about other reporter modes here.
