"This part of ISO/IEC/IEEE 29119 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 could apply to any tool that supports the Keyword-Driven approach (e.g.@ test automation@ test design and test management tools); - defining interfaces and a common data exchange format to ensure that tools from different vendors can exchange their data (e.g. test cases@ test data and test results); - defining levels of hierarchical keywords@ and advising use of hierarchical keywords. This includes describing specific types of keywords (e.g. keywords for navigation or for checking a value) and when to use ""flat"" structured keywords; - providing an initial list of example generic technical (low-level) keywords@ such as ""inputData"" or ""checkValue"". These keywords can be used to specify test cases on a technical level@ and may be combined to create business-level keywords as required. NOTE This standard is applicable to all those who want to create keyword-driven test specifications@ create corresponding frameworks@ or build test automation based on keywords."
