What is Framework?
Can anyone give the exact meaning of framework with one example? What framework we are using in Testcomplete?
Forum Discussion
TestComplete, on it's own, doesn't have a "framework". It is more like an integrated development environment (IDE) much like you use for developing applications.
Most of the time, when people talk about a "framework", they talk about the inter-related components of an automated testing project that executes their tests. This may be as simple as a collection of recorded tests that are played back. Or, it may be as complicated as a data-driven table-based testing structure that utilizes external data sources to both drive a set of tests and determine what specific steps to execute.
Here's a definition from Wikipedia that pretty much sums it up.

For TestComplete, any one of the frameworks listed can be executed depending upon both the need and the skill set of the tester.
