Robot Framework — Infrastructure
Practical patterns for configuration, observability of test runs, and CI/CD. These topics keep suites portable, safe to run in shared pipelines, and easy to debug when they fail.
Topics in this section
| Page | What you will use it for |
|---|---|
| Configuration & secrets | Per-environment settings, variable files, env-based secrets, RF 7.4+ Secret variables, and keeping credentials out of Git. |
| Logging, debugging & reporting | Log levels, API traceability, HTML reports, Allure/JUnit, and merging runs with rebot. |
| CI/CD integration | Fast feedback vs full regression, GitHub Actions, pabot, artifacts, tags, and Dockerized runs. |
Start with configuration so every environment reads the same tests but different targets; then wire logging and reports so failures are actionable; finally shape pipelines around smoke, API, and nightly depth.
