BDD with Robot Framework: Gherkin Guide (2026)
· 14 min read
Behavior-Driven Development (BDD) with Robot Framework combines Gherkin-style Given/When/Then syntax with Robot Framework's keyword-driven engine. You write scenarios in business-readable plain English, then map each step to a reusable Robot keyword that drives the system under test. The result: tests that product managers can read and engineers can maintain. This guide covers the setup, syntax, Example Mapping, and 2026 patterns — including AI-assisted scenario generation — with working examples you can copy.
