Modern automation frameworks are no longer just UI wrappers — they are scalable software systems that must evolve with the product, tech stack, and delivery pipelines. This section explores how SDETs design and adapt frameworks that are:
Modular and reusable across multiple layers (UI, API, DB)
Environment-aware and CI/CD ready
Maintainable over time through abstraction, utility layers, and design patterns
Plug-and-play with tools like Selenium, REST Assured, Playwright, Appium, and more
