Automated testing: a practical skill that everyone wants to know about robot framework

1. background

Today's sharing is about Robot Framework During the use of the framework , A little-known but very practical trick , The reason why I wrote a separate article to share , Indeed, it is also the confusion encountered by many readers during the period , Today, the author will help you answer . Skill is very dry , Operation and short , Please don't blink .

In Figure 1 , Visible in RF In the frame , Support writing automated test scripts directly in class tables . In practice , In order to facilitate the separation of test data and test logic , It is often recommended to encapsulate the test logic into keywords , Test cases are only responsible for managing test data .（ Of course, when implementing data-driven automated testing , Test data can also be put into external storage media ）

And the tips shared today , That is how in Figure 2 , Add header definitions for test cases , Look at the effect , As shown in Figure 3 ：

Add header definitions in test cases , Although the function is simple , But in the practice of automated testing for multi person teams , But it's very practical , Can play a good use case field annotation and auxiliary role . And this skill , Few people know .
