[Pycharm](https://www.jetbrains.com/pycharm) is a convenient IDE to work with
[Robot framework](http://robotframework.org). To run a test suite or a test
script, one can do so only through console. Running tests through console is
very demanding. If user can run tests from Pycharm itself then that helps
improve productivity. This blog explains how to configure Pycharm to be able to
run test suite or a single test from the IDE itself.

## Configuration to run a single test script
