Robot Framework SchemathesisLibrary, what it is for and why I did it?
Tatu Aalto

I did build a new library for ease testing REST interfaces which have OpenAPI schema. This talk points out how that library works and how good tools we have already in the Robot Framework ecosystem to help library developers. I also want to highlight what was my personal motivation to build yet another library for users and for me to maintain as developer.
