A system and method (“utility”) for automated testing using a compact framework is provided. The utility includes a plurality of functionalities that include development of a test module, development of a test flow, and execution of a test flow. Each of these functionalities may be separated by the compact framework, such that automated testing functions may be divided into individual roles. The individual roles may include test developer, test flow designer, and test flow executor. The utility may also include an authenticator that is operable to determine the individual role of a user (e.g., using a GUI), and to provide the functionality that corresponds to that role. The utility may provide one or more displays that provide real time data feedback. Further, the utility may be operable to generate customized test results reports that enable a user to analyze the performance of one or more devices under test.
