  • Data-Driven Framework: Test data (input parameters, expected results) are stored separately from the test logic code, for example, in Excel, CSV, or a database. The test script reads data from these sources.

  • Keyword-Driven Framework: User actions are described using keywords (e.g., clickButton, enterText). The test script interprets these keywords and performs the corresponding actions.

  • Behavior-Driven Development (BDD): Focuses on describing system behavior using natural language (syntax Given-When-Then). Tools like Cucumber, SpecFlow are often used.

  • Modular Framework: Test scripts are divided into small, independent modules. Each module tests a specific functionality and can be reused in other test scenarios.

  • Hybrid Framework: A combination of two or more other framework types to leverage their advantages. The most common is the combination of Data-Driven and Keyword-Driven.

  • Page Object Model (POM): Not exactly a framework in its pure form, but a very popular UI test design pattern. Each web page or component on a page is represented by a separate class (Page Object). This class contains element locators and methods for interacting with them. It separates the logic of working with page elements from test logic.

  • Integration of external frameworks/libraries (e.g., Selenium, Playwright, Cypress): These tools often serve as the foundation upon which custom frameworks are built, implementing one or more of the above patterns.
