🛠️ Setup Instructions

1. Install Python (Recommended: Python 3.8+)

You can download Python from python.org. Make sure to check "Add Python to PATH" during installation.

2. Install Robot Framework and SeleniumLibrary

pip install robotframework
pip install robotframework-seleniumlibrary

3. Install WebDriver (ChromeDriver)

Ensure Chrome is installed and download the corresponding ChromeDriver from: https://sites.google.com/chromium.org/driver/

Place the driver in a folder that's in your system PATH.

Alternatively, you can use webdriver-manager:

pip install webdriver-manager

4. Install VS Code or PyCharm (Optional but recommended)

🌐 Components Automated

Examples cover components such as:

• Add/Remove Elements
• Alerts & Modal Dialogs
• Context Menu
• Login & Error Handling
• Dynamic Controls
• File Uploads
• Frames & Windows
• JavaScript Alerts
• and more...

---

🧪 Test Execution Reports

After running the tests, Robot Framework will generate:

• report.html – Summary of test execution
• log.html – Detailed logs
• output.xml – Raw result data

All located inside the results/ directory.

---

✅ Best Practices

• Page Object style keyword definitions are stored in resources/.
• Common variables (e.g., ${URL}, ${BROWSER}, ${TIMEOUT}) are stored in variables.py.
• Browser runs in incognito mode by default with additional ChromeOptions.
