Running

Ensure to always activate your virtual environment before running tests:
To activate: Navigate to robotWrapper directory, then enter robotVenv\Scripts\activate

Runs with robot framework
To run this enter: robot tests (into your command prompt)
The above command runs whatever test suite you want to select, or all test suites if you select the highest level directory
Added a python wrapper script that outputs all files into a table (html) in reverse chronological order

This script writes the test output data to a Logs directory in /testResults
All past tests in this directory are displayed in a table in reverse chronological order, with links to the robotframework reports and logs
