Test script

[apm]

In software testing/quality control what is meant by the term "test script".
Is this a paper document specifying steps to take to test the code or does
it refer to an application that serves as a client to components that tests
the components. Does it have anything to do with scripting languages?

Thanks.

A test script is a "script", usually in a scripting language (but not
necessarily) that has a preset group of requests that represent a path
through a web site or an application. When the script is run, the testing
software captures the results and timings for reporting and analysis.

Hope that helps!
