Overview

Listeners​

Listeners can watch the execution of the test suite and perform actions based on the events that are triggered during the execution. Listeners can be enabled by using the --listener option when running the test suite.

Example events on which the listener can react on are:

  • start/end of a test suite
  • start/end of a test case
  • start/end of a keyword
  • ...

Check out the Listener Chapter for more information.

PreRunModifier​

A PreRunModifier can modify the test suite before it is actually executed.
It is like a "dry run" of the test suite with the possibility to modify the test suite before the actual execution. It can be enabled by using the --prerunmodifier option when running the test suite.

Check out the PreRunModifier Chapter for more information.

Robot Framework API​

The Robot Framework API allows us to

  • Run commands like robot and rebot from Python scripts
  • Access and modify all kinds of Robot Framework objects before, during and after the execution of the test suite
