Be honest: how many times a day do you press the ⏵ button in VS Code? How much time have you spent waiting for the browser to finally start up?
If your workflow is an endless loop of trial and error involving writing a keyword, starting a test, writing the next keyword, starting the test again… then this hack is for you.

This is Part 3 of the three-part review of RoboCon 2026 in Helsinki.

This is Part 2 of the three-part review of RoboCon 2026 in Helsinki.

While waiting for my return flight at the airport, laptop on my knees and still filled with impressions from RoboCon 2026, I began sorting through my notes.
The first draft of this article was written between gate announcements and boarding calls 😉

So here is my very personal three-part review of RoboCon – shaped by my impressions, my focus areas and the topics that had a particular impact on me.
Nevertheless, I naturally wanted to convey as much of the “RoboCon feeling” as possible to those who had stayed at home.

The step-by-step guide updated for Checkmk 2.4 for a successful start with synthetic monitoring using Robotmk!

WROBOCON is the ‘little sister’ of the well-known annual Robocon in Helsinki, but it certainly has nothing to hide.
On the contrary: with exciting presentations, workshops and an active community, NiceProject has established a format that is entertaining, educational and human at the same time.

My personal conference review.

If you work with sensitive data in Robot Framework, you know the dilemma: Suddenly, a password, token, or API key slips into the log and is visible to everyone… 😬 The reason: Robot Framework logs everything: every variable, every keyword call, every return value.

This is cool for debugging. But it’s fatal when you’re working with real access data. A new feature in Robot Framework promises to remedy this—and this article explains exactly how.

On 23 October 2025, WROBOCON will take place again – online and free of charge!
You should not miss this conference, as the agenda looks very promising.
👉 My opinion and recommendations regarding the presentations.

What happens when you combine the precision of the browser library with the power of AI?

That’s exactly what I tried out - and built a plugin that combines two worlds: the established Robot Framework BrowserLibrary and Alumnium.ai.

Very exciting! A test case, controlled only by instructions to an LLM?
I had to try it out - and it worked right away…

RCC is the command line tool used to build Python environments for the Robotmk Framework. The practical advantage of this is that it can be used both during test development and during execution by Robotmk. This ensures that the scripts always run in a reliable environment.

However, errors can sometimes occur when building or activating the environments.
This article summarizes the most common sources of errors when working with RCC and shows how to fix them efficiently.
