+Dry run
+'''''''
+
+Starting from Robot Framework 2.5 it is possible to specify a dry-run mode
+using the option :opt:`runmode` with value :opt:`DryRun`
(case-insensitive). In
+the dry run mode, all but the lowest level (library) keywords are executed.
+This mode can be used to validate the test data; if the dry-run passes, the
+data should be syntactically correct. The dry-run execution may fail for
+following reasons:
+
+ * Using keywords that are not found
+ * Using keywords with wrong number of arguments
+ * Using user keywords that have invalid syntax
+
+In addition, warnings are given for imports that cannot be resolved.
