Test automation with Robot Framework has become an integral part of many projects. Over time, these test automations grow, and keeping track of the numerous created keywords and file structures becomes increasingly unwieldy. To counter this, the RoboView tool has been developed with the goal of improving keyword management and providing deeper insights into one's projects to support refactoring.
Since keywords are the fundamental building blocks of tests, RoboView specifically concentrates on them. The objective of this approach is to provide users with a clear and organized display. Both tabular representations and visual views in the form of graphs are utilized, allowing users to quickly gain an overview and then conduct more detailed investigations at a granular level.
The tool will be offered as a VSCode extension, as the Robot Framework community predominantly uses extensions in this format. This approach enables us to reach the majority of users for RoboView. Additionally, providing it as a VSCode extension allows for straightforward installation and usage of our tool.
