This document discusses Trend Micro STAF (TMSTAF), an automation framework for testing at Trend Micro. TMSTAF is based on STAF, which was created at IBM and open-sourced in 2001. TMSTAF allows for automated testing through test cases written in Python syntax. It features configurable testware, logging, reporting, and integration with build/release processes. The document compares TMSTAF to manual QA testing and outlines how TMSTAF can improve test case creation, environment setup, script development, and quality verification.
