Editing Test automation (section)

==Defining boundaries between automation framework and a testing tool==
Tools are specifically designed to target some particular test environment, such as Windows and web automation tools, etc. Tools serve as a driving agent for an automation process. However, an automation framework is not a tool to perform a specific task, but rather infrastructure that provides the solution where different tools can do their job in a unified manner. This provides a common platform for the automation engineer.

There are various types of frameworks. They are categorized on the basis of the automation component they leverage. These are:

#[[Data-driven testing]]
#[[Modularity-driven testing]]
#[[Keyword-driven testing]]
#[[Hybrid testing]]
#[[Model-based testing]]
# Code-driven testing
#[[Behavior driven development]]
