What happens when you combine the precision of the browser library with the power of AI?
That’s exactly what I tried out - and built a plugin that combines two worlds: the established Robot Framework BrowserLibrary and Alumnium.ai.
Very exciting!
A test case, controlled only by instructions to an LLM?
I had to try it out - and it worked right away…
RCC is the command line tool used to build Python environments for the Robotmk Framework. The practical advantage of this is that it can be used both during test development and during execution by Robotmk. This ensures that the scripts always run in a reliable environment.
However, errors can sometimes occur when building or activating the environments.
This article summarizes the most common sources of errors when working with RCC and shows how to fix them efficiently.
RoboCon 2025 is behind me - four days full of exciting presentations, inspiring talks and new ideas.
Now, back home, I’m sorting through my impressions - and there are plenty of them!
This conference is something special for me every year: nowhere else do I experience a community that shares so openly, discusses together and drives new ideas forward.
In this article, I’d like to share my personal highlights with you - the talks that had a particular impact on me and the topics that I will definitely be following up on.
The RoboCon week traditionally starts with the “Unconference Day ” - a day on which the Robot Framework community freely organizes itself and discusses the topics that move it most without a fixed program.
My summary of this day…
Munich Airport, Terminal 2, Gate K10 – I use the time before my flight to study the agenda for Robocon 2025 in more detail.
👉 This year’s topics are truly amazing!
The sunny spring weather actually invited us to spend the day outdoors, but Animesh and I persevered: a day of recording 🎙️ 🎥 in the Checkmk studio in the heart of Munich.
Today the time has come: Checkmk 2.3 was released and my “baby” Robotmk is now an integral part of this great monitoring system under the name “Synthetic Monitoring”.
You can find all the details here.
Integrate the first RobotFramework test with Robotmk v2 in Checkmk step by step.
This step-by-step guide will help you get started with synthetic monitoring with the new version of Robotmk, which is integrated in Checkmk 2.3.
