And are the terms framework, library, tools and dependencies interchangeable?<\/p>\n

You might say they are not, but I\u2019ve often seen these terms used for the same things<\/p>\n

I\u2019m not trying to distinguish between them all, but framework has a much larger meaning than the rest<\/p>\n

Therefore any one library, tool or dependency cannot be a framework<\/p>\n

Dot Net is a framework, no one would call JavaScript a framework?<\/p>\n

Then why do we call automation libraries like RestAssured, JUnit etc. a framework?<\/p>\n
