2023-01-17 –, Workshop 3
Within the Robot Framework eco-system, where are a number of established libraries for API automation, some new initiatives and there's also the option to write custom Libraries. In this workshop, these options will be explored and compared to give the participants a good understanding of the different options and when to apply them.
In this workshop, we'll take a look at the different options for (http) API automation that the Robot Framework has to offer. The following topics will be explored:
* Basics and scope
* http requests and their structure
* what is REST?
* swagger and OpenAPI
* Established libraries
* RequestsLibrary
* RESTinstance
* New initiatives
* roboswag
* OpenApiDriver / OpenApiLibcore
* Custom Libraries written in Python
* the Python requests library
* useful libraries
We'll look at scope of each option and use them in hands-on examples. There will be plenty of room to ask questions and discuss the experiences of the participants so we can learn from eachother and gain new insights.
