Robot Framework with Mainframe

1

I’m initianting the studies for implementation automation tests with Robot Framework on Mainframe in my job. I need help to create it. Someone know courses or materials about it ?

Hi Jose,

Welcome to the Robot Framework Community,

I would suggest you start by looking at the Mainframe 3270 Library

I’ve not used this library myself but I have used the SSHLibrary which I expect would have similar concepts.

Looking at the Keywords for the Mainframe 3270 Library it does look like you would use a similar approach.

  • Use “write” keywords to send keystrokes
  • use “read” keywords to verify / wait for expected response

Can’t speak up about mainframes specifically, but there are courses on Robot Framework, especially the certification courses at https://cert.robotframework.org/providers
