Robot Framework UI

Web UI for Robot Framework

• Robot Framework UI aims to be a central hub a Robot Framework Hub which can then be used as a dashboard for all robot framework test runs.

• Short and long term goals with this project are :

  1. Ability to be able to store data for test reporting we will have to have information about every time a suite or a test case is run somewhere that needs to be tracked.
  2. Ability to Edit test cases on WEB-UI
  3. Ability to connect to Git for just reading information. Hopefully then version control test cases using the UI.
  4. Ability to connect to JIRA helping testers and BAs to write better acceptance criteria and which can be automated with little or no effort
  5. Have a project and application level authorisation and authentication mechanism

• Data Model

  1. Using DBBot at this stage. https://github.com/robotframework/DbBot
  2. Currently exposing REST API for all DBBot objects using Django REST Framework.
  3. Project and Application object have been added to the DBBot model to provide an Authorization layer at a project and application level.
