Welcome!

So this is the beginning of my test framework blog.

I've been meaning to do this for quite a while.  After working several jobs, and creating a very similar API test framework in each company I've decided to share a cookie cutter example of how to create a powerful, yet very lightweight test framework.

I"m going to write this tutorial style, with each post adding onto the next.  Therefore I suggest you start from the last post and work your way back.  In the git repo the Main branch will hold the latest iteration of the framework, and I will have a branch for each step.  Hopefully each iteration of the framework will be runnable.  I will let you know if it doesn't

Since I last created this framework in Python 3.5, it's what I will be using.  There are a few modules to install, as noted in the first blog post labeled "So Let's Begin".  My favorite python IDE right now is pycharm (pretty much the same as intellij).

Here is the github repo:  https://github.com/lightmanca/TheTestFrameworkBlog.
