This document defines an efficient and consistent solution for keyword-driven testing by:


—     giving an introduction to keyword-driven testing;


—     providing a reference approach to implement keyword-driven testing;


—     defining requirements on frameworks for keyword-driven testing to enable testers to share their work items, such as test cases, test data, keywords, or complete test specifications;


—     defining requirements for tools that support keyword-driven testing; these requirements are applicable to any tool that supports the keyword-driven approach (e.g. test automation, test design and test management tools);
