What are Test Automation Frameworks for Visual Studio Code?
Test automation frameworks are sets of tools, components, and practices that automate the process of testing software applications. These frameworks enable testers to write, execute, and manage test scripts for various types of software testing, including functional, regression, load, and performance testing. They often provide features such as reusable test scripts, integration with continuous integration/continuous deployment (CI/CD) tools, reporting, and test result tracking. Test automation frameworks help improve test efficiency, reduce manual errors, and speed up the overall testing process, especially in large and complex software environments.

SpecFlow
SpecFlow
SpecFlow makes test automation easier by turning it into a team effort and allowing every role to better use their skills. Don’t waste your time searching for the correct definition across your binding classes, just right-click and jump to the relevant code. Hooks (event bindings) can be used to perform additional automation logic at specific times, such as any setup required prior to executing a scenario. SpecFlow supports a dependency injection framework that is able to instantiate and inject context for scenarios. This allows you to group the shared state in context classes, and inject them into every binding class that needs access to that shared state.Starting Price: Free -

Pester
Pester
Pester is the ubiquitous test and mock framework for PowerShell. Adding Pester tests to Powershell code will enhance code quality and allows you to start creating predictable changes. Visual Studio Code comes with full support for Pester allowing you to create tests quickly. Pester integrates nicely with TFS, Azure, Github, Jenkins, and other CI servers, allowing you to fully automate your development lifecycle. Pester provides a framework for writing and running tests. Pester is most commonly used for writing unit and integration tests, but it is not limited to just that. It is also a base for tools that validate whole environments, computer deployments, database configurations, and so on. Pester tests can execute any command or script that is accessible to a Pester test file. This includes functions, Cmdlets, Modules, and scripts. Pester can be run locally, where it integrates well with Visual Studio Code, and it can of course be integrated into a build script in a CI pipeline.Starting Price: Free -
