5.4 External tools

There are plenty of external tools that can be used with Robot Framework. These tools include test data editor RIDE, extensions for various IDEs and text editors, plugins to continuous integration systems and build tools, and so on.

These tools are developed as separate projects independently from Robot Framework itself. For a list of the available tools see http://robotframework.org/#tools.

Note

Some supporting tools used to be distributed with Robot Framework itself. Nowadays all those tools are also available separately and they were removed both from the repository and source distribution in Robot Framework 2.8.6.
