Robot Frameowrk Docker¶

The Robot Framework is a generic test automation framework for acceptance testing and acceptance test-driven development. It is a keyword-driven testing framework that uses tabular test data syntax.

Normally, the requirements for running the Django DRF application are: * Python 2.7 or greater * Python Virtualenv or PyEnv

Why use Docker with the Robot Frameowrk¶

Rapidly get started with automated testing without additional setup
Allows testers to focus on test case and not the executing environment
Isolating dependencies and source code:
Remove the need of having multiple version of python installed on the host machine.
Remove version conflicts of python packages
It works on everyone’s machine. Docker eliminates the “but it worked on my laptop” problem.
