Keyword Driven Testing (KDT)

Keyword-Driven Testing is a testing approach where test cases are created using predefined keywords instead of writing code directly. Each keyword represents a specific action, such as clicking a button or verifying text, and is stored in structured formats like tables or spreadsheets. This allows non-technical team members to design tests without programming knowledge. The approach improves maintainability, as updates are made only in keyword definitions, and increases reusability across multiple test cases. Tools like Robot Framework support this method, which integrates well with both manual and automated testing as well as CI/CD pipelines.
