STAF# Automation Framework (for BU with 300+ FTE)

This framework simplifies cross-platform test case automation development and allows testing of software product at any number of different hardware devices and almost any OS. This process increased the speed of testing process and led to major cost savings for the Company. Framework is actively used by many teams and spread around Symantec. Framework got great recognition on Symantec Developer Conference and became one of recommended tools. In general when C# used as development language then STAF# is also used for Automation and unit testing.
