Approach required to develop the Framework

Typical Steps

• Choose the tools and languages (e.g., Java, TestNG, Rest Assured, Maven).
• Define a standard project structure (folders for tests, utilities, data, config).
• Build core reusable components first — configuration readers, API helper classes, data readers.
• Establish a reporting mechanism early, so results are visible from the first test onward.
• Write a small set of pilot tests to validate the framework design before scaling up.

Why Starting With the Foundation Matters

Investing time in the base structure before writing many tests prevents costly rework later, once dozens of tests already depend on an inconsistent design.
