Framework
A test automation framework provides a programming environment that integrates test logic, test data, and other resources. The framework provides the basis of test automation and simplifies the automation effort. Using a framework can lower the cost of test development and maintenance. If there is change to any test case then only the test case file needs to be updated and the driver script and startup script will remain the same.
