Protractor library vs robotframework-angularjs library

[Sounak Saha]

Hi,

I need to automate an angular js application and am considering Robot framework and protractor for the same. Our organization predominantly uses robot framework for it’s test automation needs and haven’t used robotframework-angularjs library yet.

Could anybody please let me know if protractor library has any advantage over robotframework-angularjs library only in terms of automation capabilities?

Can we achieve the same level of UI automation using both ways or do we have any limitation using the robotframework-angularjs library?

Can anybody please help me? Am really stuck :(

Please find my analysis below and let me know if any information is in-correct or anything needs to be added,

 

robotframework-angularjs	Protractor
No coding knowledge needed as it is text based.	Knowledge of JavaScript is required
Applicable for end to end test automation where non-coders are involved	Applicable for end to end test automation where coders are involved
Supports the angular js application specific locators model, binding and repeater	Supports the angular js application specific locators model, binding and repeater
Supports the angular js application specific wait waitForAngular in the form of keyword "Wait for Angular"	Supports the angular js application specific wait waitForAngular
User needs to include the SeleniumLibrary before you import the AngularJSLibrary.	User doesn't need to import Selenium separately in tests as protractor is built on top of WebDriver Js
This library is built by invoking JavaScript from python	This library is built purely on JavaScript

 

However it appears that we can achieve the same level of automation for AngularJs applications using both robot framework and protractor, but a POC on the same would be more helpful to confirm this.

Hello! I'm sorry to not provide any answer, but I want to motivate you creating a good POC of both automations.

Especially against the angular-js specific locators which I haven't understood yet.
