In this workshop I will walk through how to build a parallel test suite with the use of Pabot. The workshop starts with a regular, sequential Robot Framework suite and show how to transform it to a parallel one. The workshop also includes the usage of key features of Pabot.
The prerequisites is to know Robot Framework basics, but no knowledge of Pabot is needed.
Key take aways :
- basic usage (running test in parallel, argument files and others)
- advanced features (test ordering, pabotlib, sharing resources, locks)
Everything you need to start the adventure with parallel tests in RF.
The workshop aims to show how to start running parallel test cases with Robot Framework and how to use the more advanced features of Pabot.
Basic knowledge of Robot Framework is needed, but no experience with Pabot.
Agenda:
1) What is Pabot
2) Basic usage of Pabot: argument files, test level split, number of processes
3) Ordering the tests
4) Pabotlib features
5) Sharing resources between parallel tests
6) Acquire lock and release lock
7) Q&A
The participants need do have a computer with installed Robot Framework and an IDE in which they like to work.
