Structured scripting

Structured scripting is a methodical scripting technique that focuses on creating and maintaining a library of reusable script components, which enhances efficiency and consistency in the testing process. By leveraging these reusable parts, structured scripting allows testers to construct scripts that are modular and easily adaptable to different testing scenarios. This approach not only saves time by avoiding the need to write new scripts from scratch for each test case but also increases the reliability of the tests by using proven script fragments that have been validated in previous tests. The modular nature of structured scripting also facilitates easier maintenance and updates, as changes can be made to individual script components without affecting the entire script.

In structured scripting, the emphasis is on the organization and reusability of test assets, which can lead to significant improvements in both the speed and quality of software testing. This technique is particularly beneficial in environments where tests need to be run repeatedly or in multiple scenarios, such as regression testing or automation testing. By building a comprehensive library of reusable scripts, teams can achieve a high degree of test coverage with less effort, ensuring that the software under test is robust and reliable.
