Hi ,   We are quite new to the tool. Planning to propose this tool with our client. Please could you let us know if it is possible to implement Keyword driven framework using Excel similar to UFT....

    Short, simple answer .... yes.

     

    How you do it though, is up to you.

    My test framework is all script extensions: https://support.smartbear.com/viewarticle/69987/

     

    Which are built to read Excel sheets and drive the tests with keywords and data.

     

    You can use the built in DDT approach, or the COM approach. Personally, I use COM as it's a little more flexible. (The tradeoff obviously being it takes more work to set up initially.)
