Selenium Robot Framework Python Test Case with RIDE

In this example, you will learn how to use RIDE in Selenium Robot Framework Python test automation. 

Test Case: authorized users are able to login Mahara Demo site. Here are test steps.


 1. Navigate to demo.mahara.org and verify that web page title "Home-Mahara" displays.
 2. Enter "student2" in the Username filed.
 3. Enter "Testing1" in the Password field.
 4. Click on the Login button
 5. Assert that Dashboard Title is "Dashboard - Mahara".
 Note: if the above username and password do not work, try registering one and 
 use your   own user account for testing because the demo user password may have 
 been changed by others.
