Automation framework is a blend of assumptions, CONCEPTS, practices which provide SUPPORT for automated software testing. The framework DEPENDS on the project needs, as there are no hard and fast rules to automation framework.

If the application have variety of functionality with LITTLE variations in terms of TEST data, ‘functional framework’ is suitable for software applications. For applications that have variety of functionality and more variations in test data, ‘hybrid test automation framework’ is suitable for those applications.
