Does robot framework support big data automation testing?

Hi,

Please let me know if we can do big data automation testing using robot framework.

Thanks!!

You need to be specific about what you are testing. Robot Framework generally can for functional testing (but not load/performance testing), the question is whether there are existing test libraries to use for what you need to test. If no libraries exist, you or someone would have to develop the libraries in order to use RobotFramework for the testing.

For example, which big data technologies do you need to work with? Hadoop, pig, scoop, HDFS, HBase, R, Hive, MapReduce.

Based on the technologies, I would then search online for search terms combining "RobotFramework" and the particular technology to see if anything comes up with respect to an available test library, etc.

I need to basically work on Hadoop ecosystem(mainly pig and hive) and perform various testing activities such as data migration testing, database upgrade testing , DWH and ETL testing.
Also, we need to perform cross browser testing across Chrome, Mozilla, Safari and IE. Are there any library files for the same?
Can we create any library file for reporting our entire test?

Please let me know your response.

You probably want to take a look at this:

https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/robotframework-users/GMbT2LclWlY

and what database are you using/testing? You'd want to see if the database is supported by DatabaseLibrary or not (for Python http://franz-see.github.com/Robotframework-Database-Library/ or Java https://github.com/ThomasJaspers/robotframework-dblibrary).

for cross-browser testing, you'd want to use Selenium2Library (for Python: https://github.com/rtomac/robotframework-selenium2library#readme or https://github.com/MarkusBernhardt/robotframework-selenium2library-java#readme)

from these options, you'd have to integrate them together in your test cases/suite to run with RobotFramework

anything not mentioned here probably means you have to write your own library to interface to the tools you need to work with or write shell calls to them via Run keywords from the BuiltIn or OperatingSystem libraries of RobotFramework.

Hey, 

I would like to know, does Robot framework support presto ?

[Anne kootstra]

Doing a little search on Google didn't turn up any results and I've not come accross it. 

The prestodb client module (https://github.com/prestodb/presto-python-client) does look like somthing that could easily be crafted into a Robot Framework library. So, there that. 

Kind regards,

Anne
