There’s no single “one-size-fits-all” framework for every type of testing, but you can design a unified testing architecture that’s adaptable across UI, API, performance, and even AI-driven validation.
A good approach is to combine Playwright for UI testing, Postman or REST Assured for API,k6 or JMeter for performance, and manage everything under a CI/CD pipeline like Jenkins or GitHub Actions.
The glue is a shared structure modular test layers, reusable utilities, and consistent reporting.
- Build a core reusable framework (config, test data, logging, reporting).
- Use adapters or drivers for each test type (UI, API, Performance).
- Centralize execution via CI/CD for consistency and scalability.
- Keep test data and environment setup externalized for flexibility.
In essence, think of your framework like a toolbox not one tool for everything, but a well-organized set that lets you test any part of your system efficiently.
