Software Testing Automation Framework (STAF)

Software Testing Automation Framework (STAF):

The Software Testing Automation Framework (STAF) is an open source, multi-platform, multi-language framework designed around the idea of reusable components, called services (such as process invocation, resource management, logging, and monitoring). STAF removes the tedium of building an automation infrastructure, thus enabling you to focus on building your automation solution.

STAX is an execution engine which can help you thoroughly automate the distribution, execution, and results analysis of your testcases. STAX builds on top of three existing technologies, STAF, XML, and Python, to place great automation power in the hands of testers. STAX also provides a powerful GUI monitoring application which allows you to interact with and monitor the progress of your jobs.

Other STAF services are also provided to help you to create an end-to-end automation solution. Other STAF services include: Event, EventManager, Cron, Email, HTTP, NamedCounter, FSExt (File System EXTension), and Timer.
