Let a software robot do the work for you.
Rely on robot-controlled process and test automation with the help of a robot framework. Save time and money and let a software robot do the work for you.
- Do your tasks comprise IT activities which are often repetitive?
- Do you develop or enhance software and perform regular regression tests?
- Do you develop websites and must make sure that the websites work as requested?
- Do you regularly and manually transfer data from one system to another?
- Would you like to have your tests run automatically?
What is Robot Framework?
The Robot Framework is a generic framework to perform automated software tests. Robot uses a simple table-like structure to manage test data and is based on keyword-driven testing. The framework is also suitable for robotic process automation (RPA).
Well-known companies use Robot Framework.
What can software robots (RPA bots) do for you?
Bots take over tasks that are usually done by employees with one difference: They are faster and more efficient than any human being could ever be. They can also do different tasks at the same time and can work in a coordinated way between different applications. They are also systematic and methodical when entering information into databases. During execution, the software robots hardly make any mistakes and cover many business functions.
