Continuous Integration and Continuous Deployment (CI/CD) have transformed software development by enabling teams to deliver updates more quickly and frequently. However, as release cycles accelerate and application complexity increases, maintaining consistent software quality becomes more challenging. This paper presents an automated testing framework specifically designed for CI/CD environments, utilising the Robot Framework. The framework ensures dependable test execution and features structured failure analysis through a straightforward rule-based system that identifies and categories common issues, such as missing elements, timeouts, or assertion failures. It also provides actionable recommendations to minimise manual debugging. The framework was evaluated using real-world web applications, including a student management system and a grocery ordering platform. The project integrate seamlessly with tools like GitHub Actions and Jenkins, enhancing test maintainability. Experimental results demonstrated a 65% reduction in the time required to investigate failures compared to conventional setups.
