Guide to Test Automation with Robot Framework

Robot Framework is a generic open-source automation framework for acceptance testing, acceptance test-driven development (ATDD), and robotic process automation (RPA). Robot Framework allows testers to easily write automated test scripts using a keyword-driven testing approach. Teams using Jira and Xray can easily integrate testing results coming from the CI/CD pipeline. This provides a lean and scalable test automation process.

Custom JAR Files

JMeter has many plug-ins and downloadable JAR Files you can use to support your testing, it is also possible to write your own custom Jar files and use these as well. Why would you want to do that, you may say, well whilst it is unlikely that you would need to create anything too complicated.
