DevOps teams in need of a generic keyword-driven test automation and RPA framework for acceptance level testing and acceptance test-driven development
About Robot Framework
Robot Framework is a generic open-source automation framework. It can be used for test automation and robotic process automation (RPA). Robot Framework is supported by Robot Framework Foundation. Many industry-leading companies use the tool in their software development. Robot Framework is open and extensible. Robot Framework can be integrated with virtually any other tool to create powerful and flexible automation solutions. Robot Framework is free to use without licensing costs. Robot Framework has an easy syntax, utilizing human-readable keywords. Its capabilities can be extended by libraries implemented with Python, Java or many other programming languages. Robot Framework has a rich ecosystem around it, consisting of libraries and tools that are developed as separate projects.

SpecFlow
SpecFlow makes test automation easier by turning it into a team effort and allowing every role to better use their skills. Don’t waste your time searching for the correct definition across your binding classes, just right-click and jump to the relevant code. Hooks (event bindings) can be used to perform additional automation logic at specific times, such as any setup required prior to executing a scenario. SpecFlow supports a dependency injection framework that is able to instantiate and inject context for scenarios. This allows you to group the shared state in context classes, and inject them into every binding class that needs access to that shared state.

T-Plan Robot
T-Plan Robot automates scripted user actions for Test Automation or Robotic Process Automation (RPA) on Mac, Windows Linux & Mobile.
T-Plan develops and sells two main toolsets. 1) Test Automation and 2) Robotic Process Automation (RPA).
T-Plan Robot is a highly flexible, easy to use, image-based black box GUI automation tool that creates robust automated scripts and exercises applications in the same way as would an end-user.
T-Plan Robot is platform-independent (Java) and runs on, and automates all major systems such as Windows, Mac, Linux and Unix plus mobile platforms. We believe we have a solution for any environment.
GUI automation interacts with your business sponsor and development teams throughout the whole project lifecycle. Working intuitively at the screen level business analysts can help testers drive testable paths through the application, whilst at the same time combining with the development team to define repeatable actions to test code in continuous development.

behave
Behavior-driven development (or BDD) is an agile software development technique that encourages collaboration between developers, QA and non-technical or business participants in a software project. We have a page further describing this philosophy. Behavior-driven development (or BDD) is an agile software development technique that encourages collaboration between developers, QA and non-technical or business participants in a software project. It was originally named in 2003 by Dan North as a response to test-driven development (TDD), including acceptance test or customer test driven development practices as found in extreme programming. BDD is a second-generation, outside–in, pull-based, multiple-stakeholder, multiple-scale, high-automation, agile methodology. It describes a cycle of interactions with well-defined outputs, resulting in the delivery of working, tested software that matters.
