ATDD Using Robot Framework
Acceptance Test Driven Development (ATDD) uses examples and tests to guide development. Robot Framework is an open source test automation framework that supports the ATDD process and approach. It uses a tabular syntax to define executable tests and keywords in a simple, readable format and has a rich ecosystem of support libraries and tools.

- 4. Discuss phase ● Whole team is involved in discussing the problem and the solution ● Team members gain shared understanding and common vocabulary ● Concrete examples clarify the solution ● The examples can later be automated
- 5. Development phase ● The specified examples guide the implementation work ● Automation of the examples can be done in parallel with feature implementation ● The whole team is responsible on automation ● In the end, all the automated examples pass when run against the implementation
- 6. Deliver phase ● Implemented features are demonstrated to all stakeholders ● Original examples are executed against the produced software ● Feedback serves as input to the next discussion phase
- 7. Robot Framework ● Generic test automation framework ● Utilizes the keyword-driven testing approach ● Suitable both for "normal" automation and ATDD ● Implemented with Python ● Runs also on Jython (JVM) and IronPython (.NET) ● Open source ● Apache 2.0 License ● Sponsored by Nokia Siemens Networks ● Active development and community
