The Magento Functional Testing Framework (MFTF) is an open-source testing framework designed for the Magento ecosystem that facilitates automated regression testing. It requires minimal programming knowledge and functions with specific software prerequisites like Selenium and Java, ultimately improving development efficiency and reducing manual testing efforts. Despite its advantages, MFTF has challenges, such as a complex file structure and a lack of comprehensive guidelines for testing implementations.
