version
7.0.1



SIMPLE EXAMPLE

This example contains a single test case for user login. It uses a mocked
backend api for user management.


TEST SUITE

This test suite TestSuite.robot contains a two test cases "Login User with
Password" and "Denied Login with Wrong Password". This test case calls keywords
from the resource file keywords.resource.


RESOURCE FILE

keywords.resource contains keyword definitions. The resource file also uses a
python based keywords from the library CustomLibrary.py for more specialised
functionality. Countless community made libraries exist that extend Robot
Framework in various ways!
