Get Started
Code is worth a thousand words.
Below you'll find a live Robot Framework editor. Feel free to experiment with it — if you find bugs, please report them in GitHub issues.
To start using Robot Framework in a project of your own, see the Install and Learn tabs. And do visit the Robot Framework Docs.
The Robot Framework editor
It runs Robot Framework in your browser, so it needs JavaScript.
Resources
Robot Framework is open source and supported by the Robot Framework Foundation. There is a huge community of contributors around the tool. The software is built with expandability in mind, and there are numerous ways to extend its use cases.
If you have created or found a library that you think should be listed here, please let us know by submitting a pull request or an issue. You are also welcome to report unmaintained ones that shouldn't be listed any more.
Separately developed external libraries that you install as you need them. Creating your own is straightforward — see creating test libraries in the User Guide.
