RPA-Python VS Robot Framework

I recently started playing around with RPA for Python. It can be usedfor test automation like Selenium, but you are not confined to your browser. I am starting to automate things from my work that annoy me.

RPA for Python: https://github.com/tebelorg/RPA-Python

you can do it via image recognition and/or ocr with python: https://github.com/tebelorg/RPA-Python is a popular automation package.

Well, I work with software quality and despite not having a strong foundation in automation, one fine day I decided to make a change. I have been working with Robot Framework for a few months - and that's when I got a taste of the power of python. Some time later, I dabbled a little with Cypress and Playwright, always using javascript.

Robot Framework

I've used Lua/Busted in a data-heavy environment (telemetry from hospital ventilators). I've also used robot: https://robotframework.org/

I can't say whether any of these will work, but maybe one of: PyAutoGui pytest-qt Robot Framework + plugins

I'm looking for tools, strategies, libraries, etc. that would be useful for automating arbitrary desktop applications. Ideally something free and open source. Robot Framework (https://robotframework.org/) looks promising, although the docs seem deliberately unclear about how useable the open source libraries are without the cloud SaaS being sold on top.

Does anyone have experience in this area? What's your secret sauce for robust desktop automations?

In the industry I've seen the framework "Robot framework" https://robotframework.org/ used a lot for test automation.

Greetings! They say all good things must come to an end, and with this post, so it is with my series of posts covering Robot Framework.
