World Wide Workshop Wednesday 2025

Integrating AI & Robot Framework
2025-10-01 , WS10

Learn how to integrate AI models like ChatGPT and Gemini with Robot Framework. Build Python libraries, generate test data and documentation, and explore generative AI for smarter test automation. Hands-on, practical, and focused on real-world testing workflows.


Workshop Goal:
This workshop will show you how to integrate generative AI (OpenAI and Gemini) with Robot Framework. Together we will create a simple Python library, connect it with Robot Framework, and explore how LLMs can boost your testing workflows.

Key Objectives:

  • Learn how to connect Robot Framework with modern AI models
  • Generate test documentation and keyword descriptions automatically
  • Create dynamic test data on the fly
  • Experiment with working files as context for AI
  • Understand how to extend Robot Framework with custom Python libraries

Knowledge Level:
Basic Python coding skills and prior experience using Robot Framework. You should be comfortable writing simple functions in Python and running Robot Framework tests. This workshop is aimed at intermediate automation testers and developers who want to explore AI-powered testing.

Workshop Agenda (09:00–17:00):
