Sessions
Sometimes, a simple sequential pipeline isn’t enough for advanced automation needs. Learn how to distribute and orchestrate Robot Framework workloads by applying the fundamentals of BPMN 2.0 process modeling. Discover how to use executable BPMN models to coordinate complex, end-to-end test and task automation scenarios with Operaton BPM, Robot Framework, and the surrounding open-source ecosystem.
Like every open source tool Robot Framework is sometimes hard to fit in common corporate tool evaluations. There is no company behind it offering enterprise support. Even if governance for Robot Framework core may be achievable, the tool does not exist solely, but requires ecosystem projects that are entirely free.
In this talk, Markus is going to show ways how to mitigate the risks of adopting a free open source tool, how open source tool providers can improve governance of their prjects and how companies can contribute in different ways for their own direct benefit.
