Almost every test automation team invent their own framework. They put lots of efforts and time to build and polish it adapting to all possible situations. Most of them finish with a garbage that require continuous support or huge gap in test coverage because time was spent on framework instead of tests themselves. I’m quite sure nobody needs a framework in the first place. Instead we need quick, reliable, simple tests that work and provide good quality gates for our development process. Framework could be introduced in more natural way when it is really needed and could solve existing issues or improve something. I will demonstrate on the practical examples how to go with evolution approach using Selenium/WebDriver.
