2024-02-09 , RoboCon

An overview if RFSwarm - a performance testing tool with robot framework
- what it is and why it's important different to other performance testing tools
- why I created it
- where it's at now
- future plans
- Q&A


  • what it is and why it's important different to other performance testing tools
    In this part of the talk I'll tell about the tool, what its for, what I believe the benefits are, why people might use RFSwarm over other performance test tools, and the problems I believe RFSwarm solves for people.

  • why I created it
    In this section I'll give a little bit about my background, ways I'd attempted to solve these problems before RFSwarm, and why I ended up creating RFSwarm.

  • where it's at now
    In this section I'll give an overview of where RFSwarm is today

  • future plans
    In this section I'll talk about the planned features and give a rough idea of the roadmap, things that I foresee that could change the roadmap.

  • Q&A
    In this section I'll open for people to ask any questions they want about RFSwarm and do my best to answer them.

Lessons Learned:
  • Difficulties for an automation team doing test automation with one tool/language and then having to use another completely different tool & language for performance testing, how this becomes easier with RFSwarm.
  • Learn that with RFSwarm they can use Robot Framework for performance testing as well
  • Benifits to the Test team when all the test automation disciplines are all using the same scripting language

I expect to spend 5 min on each of the 5 sections I previously mentioned to bring the talk to 25 min.
