Executing Your Local Mobile Automation Robot Code

Robot Framework is a generic open-source automation framework. Robot Framework can be integrated with virtually any other tool to create powerful and flexible automation solutions such as Appium and Selenium. Robot Framework is free to use without licensing costs.

Robot Framework has an easy syntax, utilizing human-readable keywords. Its capabilities can be extended by libraries implemented with Python, Java or many other programming languages. Robot Framework has a rich ecosystem around it, consisting of libraries and tools that are developed as separate projects.

Prerequisites

TestGrid login credentials and Device cloud link
Robot Framework Set Up. (Using python pip/pip3)
You need to add your desired remote Device URL and UDID from the TestGrid device cloud and paste it inside the ${url} and ${udid} variable in your robot code. Rest of the appium capabilities in your robot code will remain same.

Additionally, Remote Execution of Code can also be viewed live on TestGrid Device Cloud.
