Optimizing CI/CD for Robot Framework Browser: Efficient Testing Across Environments

Tools
1

Hey Robot Framework community!

I’ve just published a (WIP) article detailing how the Robot Framework Browser project optimizes its CI/CD pipeline to test across multiple OS, Python versions, and Node.js versions efficiently.

Key points:

  • Pairwise testing strategy to cover important combinations
  • Parallel execution with Pabot: 767 tests across 4 shards
  • Result visualization with RF Logs

If you’re interested in speeding up your CI/CD pipeline while maintaining comprehensive coverage, check it out:

I’d love to hear about your CI/CD optimization experiences in the comments!

Did you actually write it?

Do you mean the article content? I do work together with GenAI. Maybe too early iteration?

I’m thinking of adding examples still… feels a bit ”shallow”, but the points are from the real GH Actions and why they are as they are.

Yes, I mean the article content. It has a lot of text for almost zero information.

Please curate your content. Of course anyone can still use AI, but please process the result before sharing.

We frequently have AI spam-bots already. Folks here invest their spare time and should not have to read through generated empty content.

If you don’t feel confident about your content, it’s ok to share it anyway. Folks here are more helpful than I sound like.

I still love your work that actually is done by you :hugs:

I think pairwise testing, pabot sharding and easy log publishing are important pointers.
But point taken. I’ll improve.
