2024-02-28 , RoboConOnline

Cut the time of your tests! Probot is an open source, proof of concept project that uses Docker and Kubernetes to parallelize and distribute Robot Framework tests.


Probot is an open source, proof of concept project that parallelizes and distributes Robot Framework tests. It was originally developed as a graduation project during an internship at CGI. This talk will present the proof of concept and supporting research. Probot uses multiple splitting strategies to create optimal test groups, while respecting test case dependencies. Probot is highly configurable and uses Docker and Kubernetes technologies.
