Tools for developing Test Framework

Common Tooling Stack

• Eclipse / IntelliJ: the IDE for writing and running Java code.
• Selenium WebDriver: browser automation library.
• TestNG: test structure, annotations, and reporting.
• Maven: dependency and build management.
• Apache POI: reading/writing Excel files for data-driven testing.
• Jenkins: CI/CD to schedule and trigger automated runs.

Why This Stack Is Common

Each tool solves a specific concern — automation, structure, dependency management, data, and continuous execution — and together they form a complete, industry-standard Selenium framework.
