This time Jyri shows how to create maintainable tests by reusing existing keywords, among other cool tricks.

Two weeks ago I showed you how to write maintainable, automatic tests for your web application the easiest way possible. Today you will learn a few of the more advanced tricks for Robot Framework and its Selenium2Library.

My first video gives a very simple example on how to get started with writing, fixing and running tests using Robot and Selenium. This time I show you how to actually create more of those maintainable tests by reusing existing keywords and how to execute the tests using different browsers. I also emphasize the important, good practices such as tagging cases. From here on it'll be easy to continue creating and modifying the existing tests and, for example, execute them in a continuous integration server in parallel, using different browsers. Most probably that'll be the topic of my next video post!
