Diff. between keyword driven Data driven testing?

Answer Posted / satish javalekar

Data driven Testing :
Data driven scripts are those application-specific scripts
captured or manually coded in the automation tool’s
proprietary language and then modified to accommodate
variable data. Variables will be used for key application
input fields and program selections allowing the script to
drive the application with external data supplied by the
calling routine or the shell that invoked the test script.
Keyword driven testing:
These tests are developed as data tables using a keyword
vocabulary that is independent of the test automation tool
used to execute them. This keyword vocabulary should also be
suitable for manual testing.
The data table records contain the keywords that describe
the actions we want to perform. They also provide any
additional data needed as input to the application, and
where appropriate, the benchmark information we use to
verify the state of our components and the application in
general.
Hope this clarifies the difference.
