Hybrid Driven Framework is a combination of both the Data-Driven and Keyword-Driven frameworks. Keywords and the test data are externalized. Keywords are stored in a separate Java class file and test data can be maintained in a properties file or an Excel file.​Hybrid Driven framework is commonly used by resource testers who don’t have much knowledge of programming languages.

The resource can just have an understanding of Keywords, Test data, and Object repository and start creating the test case right away, without having to code anything in the framework.
