Your Use Cases of remote libraries?

We use it in some cases:

  1. We have to automate an embedded device that can only execute native c executables. It has a ethernet interface. So we wrote a C program that opens the XML-RPC and we could call robot that executes on the device local functions from our normal desktop.

  2. We wanted to use Ranorex automation technology. Ranorex is C# and we compuled the keywords into a C# dll and used NRobotRemote.

  3. Customer has Java and Goovey Libraries for its own interfaces but we didn’t want to automate in Java because it is slower development and we wanted to use RequestsLibrary and SeleniumLibrary.
    We also didn’t wanted to use the Jython RobotFramework because we are not sure how future proof it is.
