You may be aware that using only a capture tool
to create your automated tests has its drawbacks, but you may not be aware of the alternatives you have available
to you. In this article I will briefly outline some of the frameworks for test automation that I'm aware of. These
include test script modularity, test library architecture, keyword-driven/table-driven testing, data-driven testing,
and hybrid test automation. Each of these frameworks has it's own strengths and weaknesses. What I hope to accomplish
in this article is to establish a starting point from which you can spend some time looking more heavily into the
framework you think may be right for you.

Test Script Modularity
With that said, let's jump right in. The test script modularity framework is the most basic of the frameworks.
This framework builds on the concept of abstraction. It's a well-known programming strategy to build an abstraction
layer in front of a component to hide the component from the rest of the application. This insulates the application
from modifications in the component and provides modularity in the application design.
When working with test scripts (in any language or proprietary environment) this can be achieved by creating small,
independent scripts that represent modules, sections, and functions of the application-under-test. You then take
these small scripts and combine them in a hierarchical fashion to construct larger tests. The use of this framework
will yield a higher degree of modularization and add to the overall maintainability of your scripts.
This framework being what it is, I did not see fit to include any examples. More...
