Test management - Record
Test script
Detailed instructions, or automated code, specifying exactly how to carry out a test
What's it for?
Gives a person or computer clear, repeatable steps for carrying out a software check.
For example…
A test script signs into a shop website, places a sample order and checks that the confirmation email arrives without someone having to repeat the steps by hand
An automated test script opens the checkout page, adds a product, submits a test payment and checks that the confirmation message appears
Think of it like…
Stage manager's cue sheet: the scene (test case) plus exact cues for how to perform it
