In this tutorial I plan to present pabot to parallelize test runs. We start with a "normal" sequential RF test suite and will convert it in a parallel one. I wat to present also the key parameters, hot to run a setup only once, how to share variables between tests.
This practical tutorial is designed for Robot Framework users who are familiar with the basics and are looking to optimize their test execution. Participants will learn how to leverage Pabot, a powerful tool for parallel test execution, to significantly reduce run times for integration and end-to-end tests.
Through live coding, we will guide you through the process of transforming a conventional sequential test suite into an efficient parallel testing setup. You'll have the opportunity to follow along on your own machine, gaining hands-on experience with Pabot's key features.
Key topics to be covered:
- Introduction to Pabot and its benefits in the context of integration and E2E testing
- Step-by-step conversion of a sequential test suite to a parallel one
- In-depth exploration of Pabot's advanced features, including:
- Running setup only once
- Sharing variables between tests
- Utilizing Pabotlib for complex parallel testing scenarios
By the end of this tutorial, participants will have practical knowledge of how to:
- Implement Pabot in their existing Robot Framework test suites
- Significantly reduce test execution times while maintaining test integrity
- Optimize resource utilization in their testing processes
Prerequisites:
- Basic knowledge of Robot Framework
- If you want to follow along: laptop with Robot Framework installed (detailed setup instructions will be provided prior to the tutorial)
This hands-on session is perfect for testers and developers who want to scale their Robot Framework testing processes and improve overall test efficiency. Join us to unlock the full potential of your automation scripts!
