Recently some one asked me that what is test framework designing? is it same as test design?
So here I would like to clear that both are separate entities. If you are working in automation project we design/create a test automation framework or work with an existing framework. Designing framework mean designing the process which execute your automation test mean we create a system in which we automate our test cases.
while test design covers that how any particular function or feature will be tested, what will the step to test, what data will be required, where to executed and when ect. this may include a test plan , test cases... Test designing is something we plan for a test execution whether its manually or using automation. Now once we decide that we will go by automation then some skills people need for this automation framework designing.
