Inside the Mind of Robot Framework’s Creator
Tip: This is how much money is saved by testing 👈🏻
”If you have stakeholders that want to understand test cases like they want to be in kind of a very human readable format, then robot framework has that.” – Pekka Klärck
In this episode, I talk with Pekka Klärck about Robot Framework. We start with 2004, his thesis roots, and Nokia Networks turning a prototype into an open source project in 2008. He explains the core idea: a generic engine with reusable libraries, human readable tests, and one set of reports. Best fit in mixed tech stacks. We revisit milestones like the move to plain text, a new parser, and a thriving ecosystem. Pekka previews secret variables in 7.4, a modern user guide, markdown docs, and a cleaner namespace with backward compatibility. He even tests Robot Framework with Robot Framework.
Pekka Klärck is the inventor and lead developer of Robot Framework. He started the project in 2005 as part of his master’s thesis at Helsinki University of Technology (now Aalto University) and has been steering its development ever since.
Pekka is known not only for his technical expertise but also for his dedication to fostering an open-source community. He actively collaborates with contributors worldwide and regularly shares his insights at conferences and events.
Highlights:
- Robot Framework uses a generic engine with human readable tests and reusable libraries
- Robot Framework fits mixed tech stacks best
- Version 7.4 adds secret variables, markdown docs, and a cleaner namespace with backward compatibility
- The team runs thousands of Robot Framework self tests
- Open source grows through community contributions and events like Robocon
