This is from my presentation on the Robot Framework at the Agile acceptance testing tools round-up event held on 27 May 2009 at Skills Matter

Robot Framework is a keyword-driven test automation framework which empowers testers to
automate and manage complex workflow scripts very efficiently. It is written in Python and supports scripting Python and Java applications (through Jython), but it also has flexible support for remote execution and different system-under-test libraries which allow it to be used for automating Selenium scripts and tools that are not written in Python.

It was a great pleasure to present yesterday on agile testing tools together with Elizabeth Keogh and David Peterson. Here are the links to the tools that we presented:

• JBehave
• FitNesse
• Concordion
• TextTest
• Robot Framework

You can download my slides from http://gojko.net/resources/skillsmatter_20090527_aattools.pdf. David and Elizabeth will probably publish their slides soon on their blogs, http://blog.davidpeterson.co.uk/ and http://lizkeogh.com/.

Thanks a lot to everyone who attended, and I’m really impressed that the room was almost full especially as we had to compete with the final of the Champions league. As more than half of the people were at the previous agile testing events as well, it seems to me that we’re creating a nice community and I hope that you’ll keep coming to future events as well. The plan for the next few months is this:

• 23/6: Testable Software is Good Software by (David Evans and Mike Scott from SQS UK).
• 22/7: Agile Testing: Tools and Approaches (Nathan Bain and Anand Ramdeo)
• 26/8: Fast Track Test-Driven Development – Testify your project (David Evans and Mike Scott)

All events will be free, but up-front registration is required for capacity planning. You can sign up now for the June event at http://skillsmatter.com/event/design-architecture/testable-software-is-good-software.

A quick note: on 27th this month I’ll be doing a free evening session “Acceptance testing tools roundup” in central london, comparing features of some popular tools including fitnesse, concordion, texttest, jbehave etc.

I organised a workshop on Specification by Example yesterday at the Progressive .NET mini-conference in London, demonstrating how realistic examples are a very effective tool to flush out incorrect assumed rules and point to real business rules in software requirements. Continue Reading »

Here’s the video from my presentation “What is FitNesse and should I use it” last month at Skills Matter. In this presentation I present the case for agile acceptance testing, explain why we need a tool such as FitNesse and then briefly demonstrate the most important features of that tool. You can also download the slides from this talk from http://gojko.net/resources/whatisfitnesse.pdf.

P.S. don’t forget to sign up for the next testing related talk in Skills Matter:
Acceptance testing tools roundup on May 27th.
