Robot framework

Hi Carol and Punal,

 

I checked the Robot framework using the wiki instruction Carol wrote and I liked very much, specially how clear and easy is to write a test case (SimpleTest.txt) and the reporting.

 

Now I have a few questions on how to proceed from here:

 

-          Can anybody explain more in detail how the test case description (SimpleTest.txt) maps into python calls?

-          For ODL system test we will need REST requests, I believe we can use an existing Robot library or the Python scripts generated by the China team, is this correct?

-          Also for ODL system test we will need to control the mininet VM, start topology, do ping, etc… any idea on how to program this in Robot? Python again?

-          Finally I think the best would be if someone with Robot experience just write one OpenDaylight test case and show us how it is done, any volunteer?

 

Thanks/Luis

Just sent the mail and I found this link:

This is maybe what we need for REST requests in Robot…
