Robot Framework: Advanced Automation Strategies is an intermediate-level course designed for testers and automation engineers ready to take their skills to the next level. As automation projects scale, success depends on your ability to build robust, modular, and maintainable test suites that integrate seamlessly with complex systems. In this course, you'll learn practical strategies for designing reusable test structures, connecting to external tools like Selenium and REST APIs, and managing advanced workflows with precision. Through short videos, hands-on labs, interactive discussions, and real-world examples, you’ll work with features like keyword abstraction, conditional execution, and tagging to create automation that’s not just powerful—but scalable and adaptable. Whether you're automating critical business flows, testing microservices, or driving CI/CD-ready test suites, this course will help you move from basic scripting to strategic test architecture—unlocking greater reliability, speed, and confidence in your automation efforts.
