A framework is a set of assumptions, concepts & practices that support automation.
Types of Frameworks
Test script Modularity Framework
Test Library Architecture Framework
Keyword driven Framework
Data Driven Framework
Hybrid Frameworks
Test Script Modularity Framework
Test script modularity framework requires the creation of small independent scripts that represent modules section & functions of the AUT.
Library Architecture Framework
It divides AUT into procedures & functions.
Creation of Library files that represent Modules, functions, and sections of AUT.
Keyword-driven Framework
This framework requires the development of data tables and keywords, independent of the test automation tool used to execute them and the test script code that “drives” the application-under-test and the data.
Keyword-driven tests look very similar to manual test cases. In a keyword-driven test, the functionality of the application-under-test is documented in a table as well as in step-by-step instructions for each test.
