A deepdive into OpenApiTools
Robin Mackaij

OpenApiTools v1.0 introduced a CLI tools to easily generate a Robot Framework library based on an OpenAPI specification, a library with keywords for all endpoints of the target API. Keywords that automatically generate the required data, so no more need to specify all the request data for each request you want to make in your tests. Of course there's options to override specific values and ways to control the generated values.

In this workshop we'll dive into OpenApiTools; we'll generate our custom library to test our API and we'll look into tweaking / tuning it to our liking.
