Program Overview

API (Application Programming Interface) automation testing is the process of testing APIs for their functionality, reliability, and performance. It involves sending requests to API endpoints and checking the responses returned by the API. Robot Framework is a popular open-source test automation framework that supports API automation testing.

Robot Framework allows users to write test cases in a tabular format using keywords that represent actions or assertions. These test cases can be written in plain text or in a more structured format like XML or JSON. Robot Framework also provides a rich set of built-in keywords for testing HTTP requests and responses, making it easier for users to write tests for API endpoints.
