What SeleniumLibrary is
SeleniumLibrary is a Robot Framework library for web testing, built on Selenium. It works with Selenium 4 on Python 3.10 through 3.13 and also runs on PyPy. Test suites import it through the Robot Framework Library setting, which accepts import-time arguments. Its keywords, such as Input Text and Click Button, operate at a low level and take element locators as arguments. The documentation advises wrapping them in higher-level keywords inside test suites. Selenium Manager installs and manages browsers and drivers automatically. A plugin API can add or modify keywords. New libraries can also extend SeleniumLibrary.
