The document outlines six types of automation testing frameworks: linear, modular, data-driven, behavior-driven, keyword-driven, and hybrid frameworks, each with distinct advantages for managing testing processes. Linear frameworks focus on simple playback of tests, while modular frameworks break applications into smaller sections for easier integration. The document emphasizes the importance of choosing a flexible framework that caters to the unique needs of different applications.

2. Types of
automation testing
frameworks that
you should know

4. 1. Linear Automation framework
This framework allows for testing small applications and is popularly known as the
and playback" framework. It helps the testers by not writing the code for creating
functions.
In this framework, the steps write down sequentially. The tester can record each step,
including user input, navigation, and checkpoints capable of playing the script
automatically to carry out the test.

5. 2. Modular based testing framework
It is one of the automation testing frameworks in which the test scripts will
get created module-wise by fragmenting the entire application into smaller
modules as per clients' needs.
The testers can leverage its advantages by dividing the application into
different sections, functions, or units for the test. After that, test scripts will
created for each part and integrated to create larger tests in a hierarchy.
main purpose is to create an abstraction layer that allows changes in a
particular section without disturbing the whole module.

6. 3. Data-driven framework
The tester can easily read the data from external files such as text, CSV, Excel files, DAO objects,
and ODBC sources.
It can seamlessly wipe out the problem of the hard-coded script, as has been seen in linear or
modular test automation frameworks. It helps testers test the same function or feature of an
application as many times as testers want with numerous data sets.

7. 4. Behavior-driven testing Framework
Did you know even a non-technical person can understand this framework? The tester
knows the simple English language can create test cases and analyze and understand
without trouble.
In addition, this framework can create an ecosystem in which business analysts, testers,
and developers can participate easily and actively.

8. 5. Keyword-Driven Framework
A table format is used for each function or method to characterize
keywords or action works. It leverages the automation test scripts
according to the keywords mentioned in the excel sheet. Even a tester
less programming expertise can also perform the test scripts.
The keywords are the intuitive part of the script that defines multiple
actions to carry out the test of the GUI application. It can be labeled as
click, login, click link, or verify link.

9. 6. Hybrid Testing Framework
The hybrid framework is a combination of test automation frameworks that can
leverage the benefits of each other to manage the particular test environment.
Each application is unique and different, and therefore the testing methodologies
should be as well. Establishing a flexible and robust framework for automated
testing is critical. A hybrid structure can be more adaptable to attain the best test
results.
