Mendix Test Automation with Robot Framework

A demo solution — originally built for a Mendix Meetup presentation — showcasing how to use Robot Framework combined with Playwright for UI test automation in Mendix applications. This project bridges the gap between low-code development and professional test automation practices.

The "Solar System Explorer" is a fictional Mendix application used to demonstrate:

  • End-to-end UI testing of Mendix applications using Robot Framework
  • Playwright integration for reliable, modern browser automation
  • Reusable test patterns that can be adopted in any Mendix project
  • CI-friendly setup for integrating automated tests into deployment pipelines

This work ties into my broader focus on DevOps and test automation in the Mendix ecosystem, which I also pursued during my time as Quality Assurance Engineer and Principal IT Architect at CGI.
