Testing automation evaluation matrix

To realize continuous value from your selected test automation framework, you need to get support for the core elements that you need, as highlighted previously. From language support through to community, advanced testing scenarios support, and testing types of support, those in charge must have a clear picture that they can analyze prior to, as well as during, the adoption and usage of these technologies.
