Sample test automation framework written in Golang

There are multiple test automation tools which are already well-developed and highly used. However as a POC and to brush-up my golang skills, I have created a sample test automation framework.

The test suites are written in Golang and they can be used to verify Linux systems configuration.

fmt.Println("## TEST CASES ##")
fmt.Println("1. Verify software OS version")
fmt.Println(testSuites.VerifyOSVersion(expectedVersion))

Each test case calls another function which executes and parses the output.

func VerifyOSVersion(osVersion string) (bool) {
    var resultBool bool
    cmdOut, err := exec.Command("cat","/etc/issue").Output()
    fmt.Printf("OS version: %s", cmdOut)
    if err != nil {
        fmt.Printf("%s", err)
    }
    cmdOutStr := string(cmdOut[:])
    if cmdOutStrContainsOSVer := strings.Contains(cmdOutStr, osVersion) ; cmdOutStrContainsOSVer {
        resultBool = true
    } else { 
        resultBool = false 
    }
    return resultBool
}

Furthermore, I have included a CI using github actions. The entire repository can be found in my github.

CSV Output Files in Robot Framework

When trying to improve an existing testing framework, I came up to the point where the output log.html file was not compatible with the rest of the test automation framework already in place.

This "old" test automation framework NEEDED to be fed with a CSV file. Therefore any addition to it has to be compliant with this rule.

That is how I found this solution in which after each test case a CSV file is "filled". There are two different approaches using python and robot framework open-source libraries.

The code can be found HERE. It has acceptable documentation but it is still only a POC.
