Test Script

Test Script

A TEST SCRIPT is a set of instructions (written using a scripting/programming language) that is performed on a system under test to verify that the system performs as expected. Test scripts are used in automated testing. Sometimes, a set of instructions (written in a human language), used in manual testing, is also called a Test Script but a better term for that would be a Test Case.

Some scripting languages used in automated testing are:

1. JavaScript
2. Perl
3. Python
4. Ruby
5. Tcl
6. Unix Shell Script
7. VBScript
