robotframework-testsuitesmanagement 0.8.2

Functionality to manage RobotFramework testsuites

Package Description

The RobotFramework_TestsuitesManagement enables users to define dynamic configuration values within separate configuration files in JSON format.

These configuration values are available during test execution - but under certain conditions that can be defined by the user (e.g. to realize a variant handling). This means: Not all parameter values are available during test execution - only the ones that belong to the current test scenario.

To realize this, the RobotFramework_TestsuitesManagement provides the following features:

• Split all possible configuration values into several JSON configuration files, with every configuration file contains a specific set of values for configuration parameter
• Use nested imports of JSON configuration files
• Follow up definitions in configuration files overwrite previous definitions (of the same parameter)
• Select between several criteria to let the Robot Framework use a certain JSON configuration file
