The Software Testing Automation Framework (STAF) is an open-source project licensed under the Eclipse Public License.[1] STAF provides a platform for users to establish cross-platform, distributed software test environments.[2] The design of STAF revolves around the concept of reusable components, known as services. These services include process invocation, resource management, logging and monitoring. STAF aims to streamline the development of automation solutions by offering an automation infrastructure. This framework lays the groundwork for constructing more complex solutions and supports a pluggable approach across a variety of platforms and languages.
