Overview of Robot Framework Level 2

- [Instructor] I'd like to very briefly walk you through the high-level topics we're going to cover, to hopefully get you excited about the course. The first thing we're going to do is we're going to have a section that quickly turbocharges your level one skills. These will be practical things you can put into use immediately, today, to improve the power of your scripting skills. Next, we'll go into a section where we talk about keeping your open source tools up to date. The open source community is continually contributing to and improving the Robot Framework and Selenium offerings, so it's important that you periodically update your tools. Next, we'll take a web locator deep dive, and the goal of this section is to ensure that you never get stuck trying to automate a particular feature of your site under test. Then we'll move into script control flow and talk about conditionals, allowing your scripts to be able to make decisions, if this happens, then do this, or depending upon a particular variable you might pass into a keyword, you have different options about what to do inside that keyword. Then we'll talk about advanced data management, and this includes things like dictionaries, that will allow you to create more complex data structures that contain values you can reference by name. And a great practical example for this is even something as simple as the Dev URL, and the QA URL and the Stage URL for your Websetter test. Then I'll have at least one or two real-world scripting examples, where I start from beginning to end. At the end I have a section for advanced scripting techniques, which include things like executing JavaScript, which allows you to pretty much do anything you need to in the browser. Welcome to the course, let's get started.
