Functional Framework is suitable for applications that have
variety of functionality but limited variations in terms of

?The Framework is a tiered organization of the function
libraries.?

In other words, our Test Automation Script contains simply
calls to functions instead of individual statements. These
functions are reusable and any Test Script can be
constructed by simply calling these functions.

The code for these Library functions is found in the next
tier(level). The functions themselves might have been
defined in terms of another set of functions, which are
again described in the next tier.

This is called automation framework. It can be 2-tier, 3-
tier,... n-tier.

A automation framework is a set of assumptions, concepts and tools that provide support for automated software testing.

The main advantage of such a framework is the low cost for maintenance.

Automated testing is the process of running part of whole of the software testing activity by using automation tools.

The Frameworks are divided into five basic types,

1. Test Script Modularity Framework
2. Test Library Architecture Framework
3. Keyword-Driven or Table-Driven Testing Framework
4. Data-Driven Testing Framework
5. Hybrid Test Automation Framework

Thus, these are the some basic idea of an automaton framework.
