Does anybody use Keyword Tests?
Do you use Keyword Tests? If so, what type of testing are you doing? I have tried "embracing" Keyword tests several times and each time I end up getting frustrated because things just seem more...

Champion Level 3Hi -
We use Name Mapping and Keyword Tests with some scripts mixed in.
Keyword Tests are useful if anyone creating or using your tests is not comfortable with scripting. It can also be a good intro to scripting because the Keyword Tests can be converted to scripts for comparison.
Having done both, I don't know that Keyword Tests make anything more complicated than it would be in a script. It might be a matter of familiarity with the functionality available in the Keyword Tests. I know our tests have become more sophisticated as we have gained more experience.
I think if you (and your group?) are comfortable with scripting, then stick with that, but if you have a mixed audience, then perhaps a mix of the two is the way to go.
