Session
IBM MQ is the backbone of asynchronous communication in today’s complex microservice landscapes, trusted by governments and enterprises for mission-critical reliability. Yet Robot Framework ecosystem lacked native IBM MQ support, forcing testers into fragile workarounds far from production reality. That’s why we built MQLibrary: a PyMQI-powered wrapper enabling seamless, production-like MQ interaction in automated tests. In this talk, we’ll share our journey, challenges, and how MQLibrary takes test automation to the next level.
