How to get the test coverage

[Shree]

Hi,

I am using Robot framework for API automation using python.

I have written all the keywords using python and test cases are written using robot syntax i.e in ext file.

(All python keywords are called in test.txt file.)

Now, the question is I want to check the test coverage for all the test case .But, I am not able to do that.

Can anyone plz tell that how to take the test coverage in robot framework where keywords are written in Python

Note: I run my test cases from command prompt like :

pybot test.txt

Thanks,

Shree

What do you mean with test coverage? If you mean something like how
many features of your application are tested, that's impossible to
tell just based on executed tests. If you mean how big portion of your
application code is tested, or at least executed when running tests,
you need to look at coverage tools that support the language your
application has been implemented with. The typical workflow with them
is that you first instrument your code, then execute tests, and
finally analyze the coverage results.

I tried using the 'coverage' tool by python, that can be found here https://pypi.python.org/pypi/coverage

I am still not sure how to interface this tool with Robot Framework to measure coverage by running tests that execute my python library code.

@Pekka,

Do you have any pointers on how this can be done?

I recently came across this post http://dmeio.blogspot.cz/2014/02/code-coverage-with-robotframework.html.  I've not read the article (just skimmed it) nor do I use Robot Framework in relation to code coverage so I am not qualified to speak on how useful this is. But it might be of use to you.

Robot-framework has nothing to do with code coverage. 

You can separately hook the code coverage module for your software/web app and run the robot tests.

Then you can check percentage of code which has been executed while running your automated tests.

We use python coverage tool to monitor our code coverage while we run automated tests.

Thanks

Mukesh can you point us to some pointers how did you do this?

Any update on this ? Has any coverage method been enabled yet ? Can RobotFramework list the set of methods used as a keyword from external library in the robot Test ?

What I meant is: 

My library: 'sample.py', with X number of methods

Robot Test: 'sampletest.robot' utilizes 3 of the X methods from My library.

Can we list the name of those 3 utilized methods ?
