• Cucumber Maintainer out of Job and future of the project is uncertain

  This is why we need better tools which will give benefits for the added complexity. If you need to create both the feature files AND the code, it's just complexity with little benefits. But frameworks like https://github.com/karatelabs/karate are hiding this complexity and remove the code layer entirely. Which, in my view, this is where you need to be in 2023, particularly for API testing. - Source: Hacker News / about 1 year ago

• Lama2: Plain-Text Powered REST API Client for Teams

  Congrats on the launch ! I'm the lead dev of [Karate](https://github.com/karatelabs/karate) and the IDE and traditional solutions fall short. I hope Karate's syntax passes your "memory friendly" test :) We get regular feedback is that it is easy to read and even non-programmers can pick it up. One thing I feel we do really well is chaining of HTTP requests. And we have plugins for... - Source: Hacker News / over 1 year ago

• Hurl, run and test HTTP requests with plain text

  I recently found a BDD style tool that has native HTTP comprehension, which seems like it hits a similar area in the testing concept space: https://github.com/karatelabs/karate. - Source: Hacker News / over 1 year ago

• Hurl 1.8.0, text based integration tests for REST APIs and web sites

  I'm doing something similar but taking the approach of karate framework making it a kitchen sink of e2e testing tools. Love to see another rust based solution! I might open source mine at some point, I've implemented curl + webdriver, I will expand to support other things in my stack like desktop automation. Source: over 1 year ago

• Beautiful is better than ugly, but my beginner code is horrible

  Well, I work with software quality and despite not having a strong foundation in automation, one fine day I decided to make a change. I have been working with Robot Framework for a few months - and that's when I got a taste of the power of python. Some time later, I dabbled a little with Cypress and Playwright, always using javascript. - Source: dev.to / 6 months ago

• Embedded professionals, what kind of 'github' projects would make you hire a developer?

  I've used Lua/Busted in a data-heavy environment (telemetry from hospital ventilators). I've also used robot: https://robotframework.org/. Source: 11 months ago

• Opensource Gui testing framework

  I can't say whether any of these will work, but maybe one of: PyAutoGui Pytest-qt Robot Framework + plugins. Source: 12 months ago

• Ask HN: What is the best way to automate a Windows desktop application in 2023?

  I'm looking for tools, strategies, libraries, etc. That would be useful for automating arbitrary desktop applications. Ideally something free and open source. Robot Framework (https://robotframework.org/) looks promising, although the docs seem deliberately unclear about how useable the open source libraries are without the cloud SaaS being sold on top. Does anyone have experience in this area? What's your secret... - Source: Hacker News / 12 months ago

• How is Python used in test automation in embedded systems?

  In the industry I've seen the framework "Robot framework" https://robotframework.org/ used a lot for test automation. Source: about 1 year ago
