Robot Framework <http://robotframework.org>
_ is a generic open source
automation framework for acceptance testing, acceptance test driven
development (ATDD), and robotic process automation (RPA). It has simple plain
text syntax and it can be extended easily with libraries implemented using
Python or Java.
Robot Framework is operating system and application independent. The core
framework is implemented using Python <http://python.org>
, supports both
Python 2 and Python 3, and runs also on Jython <http://jython.org>
(JVM),
IronPython <http://ironpython.net>
_ (.NET) and PyPy <http://pypy.org>
_.
The framework has a rich ecosystem around it consisting of various generic
libraries and tools that are developed as separate projects. For more
information about Robot Framework and the ecosystem, see
http://robotframework.org.
Robot Framework project is hosted on GitHub_ where you can find source code,
an issue tracker, and some further documentation. See CONTRIBUTING.rst <https://github.com/robotframework/robotframework/blob/master/CONTRIBUTING.rst>
__
if you are interested to contribute. Downloads are hosted on PyPI_, except
for the standalone JAR distribution that is on Maven central
_.
Robot Framework development is sponsored by Robot Framework Foundation <http://robotframework.org/foundation>

If you already have Python_ with pip <http://pip-installer.org>
_ installed,
you can simply run::
pip install robotframework
Alternatively you can get Robot Framework source code by downloading the source distribution from PyPI_ and extracting it, or by cloning the project repository from GitHub_. After that you can install the framework with::
python setup.py install
For more detailed installation instructions, including installing Python,
Jython, IronPython and PyPy or installing from git, see INSTALL.rst <https://github.com/robotframework/robotframework/blob/master/INSTALL.rst>

Starting from Robot Framework 3.0, tests are executed from the command line
using the robot
script or by executing the robot
module directly
like python -m robot
or jython -m robot
.
The basic usage is giving a path to a test (or task) file or directory as an argument with possible command line options before the path::
robot tests.robot
robot --variable HOST:example.com --outputdir results path/to/tests/
Additionally there is rebot
tool for combining results and otherwise
post-processing outputs::
rebot --name Example output1.xml output2.xml
Run robot --help
and rebot --help
for more information about the command
line usage. For a complete reference manual see Robot Framework User Guide
