Wht is the Difference between Test Harness and Test Driver
Anybody can explain it..Thanks in advance...

Answer Posted / hi

a test harness or automated test framework is a collection
of software and test data configured to test a program unit
by running it under varying conditions and monitor its
behavior and outputs. It has two main parts: the test
execution engine and the test script repository.
Test harnesses allow for the automation of tests. They can
call functions with supplied parameters and print out and
compare the results to the desired value. The test harness
is a hook to the developed code, which can be tested using
an automation framework.
A test harness should allow specific tests to run (this
helps in optimising), orchestrate a runtime environment, and
provide a capability to analyse results.
The typical objectives of a test harness is to:
- Automate the testing process.
- Execute test suites of test cases.
- Generate associated test reports.
A test harness typically provides the following benefits:
- Increased productivity due to automation of the testing
process.
- Increased probability that regression testing will occur.
- Increased quality of software components and application.


Test Driver is
Test Driver:
We are using in “integration testing” if program is not
ready for doing the testing in that time we are using
drivers and stubs.
These are using as like dummy programs.Upto completing the
development we are using these drivers and stubs.
