Abstract
Robot framework is an open source efficient test automation framework. Regression test is an expensive but necessary maintenance activity on modified software. Although robot framework supports test suite and can generate straightforward test report and log. However, deployment of robot framework on various testers’ computer is expensive and time-consuming. In addition, testers may only use the framework in specific project because they could focus on other test technology on other projects. It is also hard to manage test reports and logs because test work can take place in the same or different place at the same or different time under the label Computer Support Cooperative Work. In this paper, we design and implement a tool called Remote Controller to solve problems existed in the robot framework. To demonstrate the usability of the Remote Controller for research and design, we use Remote Controller to explore the cost saving in different projects: Enterprise Architecture and Relay loader.
