What is Test Automation Framework?

A structured approach and set of guidelines, libraries, and tools for building maintainable automated tests.

Common styles include keyword-driven, data-driven, and model-based frameworks. A good framework separates test logic from data and UI locators. It reduces maintenance when SAP screens change.
