This is a list of notable test automation frameworks.

A framework is generally specific to a language or a set of highly related languages and therefore frameworks are organized as such here.

Many frameworks are labeled as xUnit due to certain similarities. This association is noted for each framework.

Columns (classification)

• Name: This column contains the name of the framework and will usually link to it.
• xUnit: This column indicates whether a framework should be considered of xUnit type.
• Licence: License type. How you can use the software.
• TAP: This column indicates whether a framework can emit TAP output for TAP-compliant testing harnesses.
• SubUnit: This column indicates whether a framework can emit SubUnit output.
• Generators: Indicates whether a framework supports data generators. Data generators generate input data for a test and the test is run for each input data that the generator produces.
• Fixtures: Indicates whether a framework supports test-local fixtures. Test-local fixtures ensure a specified environment for a single test.
• Group fixtures: Indicates whether a framework supports group fixtures. Group fixtures ensure a specified environment for a whole group of Tests
• MPI: Indicates whether a framework supports message passing via MPI - commonly used for high-performance scientific computing.
• Other columns: These columns indicate whether a specific language or tool feature is available or used by a framework.
• Remarks: Any remarks.
