FAQs

• Can we automate emails in Outlook using selenium?

Selenium is a powerful tool that enables the automation of web browsers, making workflow more efficient. However, for pulling emails from a server’s API the answer is no – something else needs to be used!

• Can we use Robot Framework for mobile testing?

Robot Framework makes testing a breeze by removing the need to rewrite tests for different platforms. This allows you to focus on one test and use it across multiple systems, like Android/iOS apps or Firefox/Chrome/Safari browsers!

• How do you pass the robot test?

To easily pass the test, all you have to do is click and hold on to the checkbox for a couple of seconds before releasing it. No extra effort is necessary – it’s an instant success!

• How does the robot test work?

To pass the test, users must put their deciphering skills to work in order to identify and type out letters that have been transformed into a seemingly unrecognizable form. Those who succeed will receive passage – those who fail to invite for another try!
