How it Works: Robot Framework
Search Knowledge Base by Keyword
TestModeller.io is a browser-based solution that enables users to:
- Model a system under test as BPMN-style flowcharts.
- Automatically generate test cases from the model, optimising testing for time and risk.
- Define test data at the model-level and generate data at the same time as test cases.
- Define test automation, automatically executing tests generated in The VIP Test Modeller.
- Analyse test results and manage existing artefacts, with visual dashboards and a file management system that introduces traceability between test assets.
This quick start guide provides an overview for new users to get started with creating automation for a Robot Framework based automation framework to quickly start creating models and associated automation.
For Robot Framework this means creating models which automatically generate Robot script which can be directly plugged into your Robot automation framework.

TestModeller.io a modelling tool which creates the perfect set of tests into a wide array of test case management systems, and automation frameworks. Along with overlaying the right test data to support your testing.
This section is by no means comprehensive and intended as a quick start guide. If you wish to learn more about modelling we recommend you review our knowledge base along with our video tutorials for a comprehensive guide to creating models and test automation.
The goal is to equip the reader with the working knowledge needed to get started with creating test automation to test their own systems and integrate into their own automation frameworks. With TestModeller.io, this means automatically generating complete automated test suites from models that are quick to build and easy to maintain.
