What is Test harness?..

When you are writing test cases , whether they are unit
tests, tests for test-driven development, regression tests,
or any other kind, there are some functions you will find
yourself doing each time. These include the basics of an
application, a mechanism for launching tests, and a way to
report results. You could write these functions each time
you start testing a new feature or you could write them once
and utilize them every time. A test harness, at its most
simple, is just that—a system to handle the elements you’ll
repeat each time you write a test.

The typical objectives of a test harness are to:

The test harness should incluse the following capabilities:-
* A standard way to specify setup (i.e., creating an
artificial runtime environment) and cleanupAutomate the
testing process.
* A method for selecting individual tests to run, or all
tests.
* A means of analyzing output for expected (or
unexpected) results.
* A standardized form of failure reporting.
