Linear Scripting framework:

This is the simplest of the Frameworks and also called as "Record and Playback" framework. In this the automation tester manually records the steps like navigation and user inputs, Inserts checkpoints in the first round itself. Then the test script is played back in the subsequent rounds.

We have the following advantages when using Linear Scripting.

• We can generate the script in fast manner
• We no need to have the automation expertise
• We can easily learn the features of the automation tool

We have the following disadvantages when using Linear Scripting.

• We can't re-use the script across the different versions of the application when user interface is changed.
• We are hard coding the test data. So, repeated testing is not possible.
• Maintenance is very tough when the user interface and feature enhancements are happened.

Test Library Framework:

In this framework,test scripts are initially recorded by "Record and Playback" method. Later, common tasks inside the scripts are identified and grouped into Functions. These functions are called from the main test script called Driven in different ways to create test cases.
