Test frameworks

Test frameworks are organized sets of tools and rules used by software developers to verify that their code works correctly. They provide a structured way to create, run, and manage tests—small programs that check specific parts of the software for errors or bugs. Think of them as a testing toolbox that automates the process, making it faster and more reliable to identify issues. Using a test framework helps ensure the software is functioning as intended, improves quality, and makes maintenance easier by catching problems early.
