TestHarness: The auxillary code developed to support unit and integration testing is called as test harness.

Actually while performing unit and integration testing, we may require Stubs to test the main function or driver to test the sub-function.

So the harness consists of stubs and drivers.

    Test harness is a concept of running the test scripts or test cases  randomly rather than sequentially.

Test hardness: They are two types of hardwares and software were testing team uses in the environment such as available products in market or own products which develop in your company.

EX:winrunner , Testing Tools, available in market , Applause load performance in there own testing tool

This type of own tools development  for test environment is called Test

hardness.

Test harness is a collection of software and test data configured to test a program unit by running it under varying conditions and monitoring its behavior and outputs.

Test harness is basically a automation tool.It is simply a combination of software and the input data to analyze the expected output with the actual output.A function is processed under different test conditions to analyze the output result and monitor that.

It is otherwise named as automated test framework.

In software testing, a test harness or automated test framework is a collection of software and test data configured to test a program unit by running it under varying conditions and monitoring its behavior and outputs. It has two main parts: the Test execution engine and the Test script repository.

Test harnesses allow for the automation of tests. They can call functions with supplied parameters and print out and compare the results to the desired value. The test harness is a hook to the developed code, which can be tested using an automation framework.

A test harness should allow specific tests to run (this helps in optimizing), orchestrate a run-time environment, and provide a capability to analyze results.

The typical objectives of a test harness are to:

Automate the testing process.
Execute test suites of test cases.
Generate associated test reports.

Test harness enables the automation of tests. It refers to the system test drivers and other supporting tools that requires to execute tests. It provides stubs and drivers which are small programs that interact with the software under test.
Test harness execute tests, by using a test library and generates a report. It requires that your test scripts are designed to handle different test scenarios and test data.
