Introduction of Paylod Driven Framework

What is a Payload-Driven Framework?

A payload-driven (or data-driven) framework separates test data — the request payloads — from the test logic itself, usually storing payloads in external files like Excel or JSON.

Why Use This Approach?

• The same test logic can run against many different data combinations without duplicating code.
• Non-technical team members can add or update test data without touching the automation code.
• It keeps large volumes of test scenarios organized and easy to maintain.

Typical Flow

The framework reads payload data from an external file, builds a request dynamically for each row of data, sends it, and validates the response before moving to the next data set.
