This is the first video of a new series called: Talking with experts in which we try to answer important questions regarding specific Robot Framework topics.
The best place to search for these answers are directly inside the Robot Framework community. These people are the ones who work to maintain, update and develop the Robot Framework project.
I am planning on having regular meetings with members of the community so please leave your comments and ideas inside the comments section.
This first video is dedicated to the new browser library for Robot Framework called "Browser". This is a great alternative to Selenium and it relies on Playwright, a tool developed by Microsoft. The advantages of using the "Browser" library are:
- Faster execution time
- More stable than Selenium
- JavaScript support headless mode
- New locators strategies
- Many other cool stuff that you will discover during the video.
