Tests scripts naming

This skeleton test suite makes you start quickly with robotframework testing. The naming convention used is: the name of the test file is us<Number>.txt where <Number> is the number of your User Story.

Running tests

A makefile is provided to add some abstraction on top of the pybot command line utility.

To run the full test suite:

make acceptance-test

To run the test scripts that have the tag MY_TAG

make TAGS=MY_TAG acceptance-test

To run the test scripts that have the tags MY_TAG and MY_OTHER_TAG:

make TAGS=MY_TAGANDMY_OTHER_TAG acceptance-test

To run the test scripts on a specific target:

make TARGET=mydev.machine acceptance-test

Examples

Some examples are provided:

• A 01_Setup.... test which, by its name is executed first. Note for embedded developers: you can use it to deploy the new firmware on your system before running your test campain
• Some other scripts that:
• use an example of external home-made python library
• use the Dialog (built-in) library to interact with the tester for manual testing
• use the SSHLibrary, an external robotframework library to connect to remote hosts
