QTP - Hybrid framework

In the posts Data driven automation framework , Keyword driven framework,Linear framework you used keywords (names of the functions that the user has created) and have data driven the test to make sure that different users are created at the same time. This is nothing but a hybrid framework.

The combination of any two or more frameworks that we have discussed so far is a hybrid framework.
In my experience, no one framework works effectively for a certain project. Hybrid framework is what gets used most often.
Few important points about frameworks:
  1. Framework is just a solution that worked best in a certain situation but should not be construed as a set of rules to be definitely followed. It should be seen more like guidelines.
  2. There might be many other frameworks in use, we have only listed and explained the common ones
  3. Nomenclature – Different people address their frameworks with different names. So if the names are slightly different from one application to another, it is normal.
  4. Most of the frameworks can be used in conjunction with one another when any one of them cannot provide an all round solution to your testing goals.
