Test Script

A test script is a testing work product modeling a software program (often written in a procedural scripting language) that executes a test suite of test cases.

The goals of a test script :
1) Automate the execution of test cases.
2) Support regression testing

Objectives of a single test script :
1) Execute each test case in the test suite.
2) Report the results of the test suite.

A test script provides the following benefits:
1) Automates a single test suite, thereby supporting regression testing.
2) Failure to produce test scripts makes regression testing more expensive and less likely to occur.
