test harness is a collection of software and test data configured to test a program unit by running it under varying conditions and monitor its behavior and outputs. It has two main parts namely Test execution engine and the test script repository

TEST BED is a platform for experimentation for large development projects. They allow rigorous testing of scientific theories and new technologiescript repository
