Test Script Template

Purpose

A test script is a line-by-line description of all the actions and data needed to perform a test and ensure that an application meets requirements. A script typically has ‘steps’ that try to fully describe how to use the program — which buttons to press, and in which order — to carry out a particular action in the program. These scripts also include specific results that are expected for each step, such as observing a change in the UI. An example step might be “Click the ‘X’ button,” with an example result of “The window closes.”

Guidelines

Use this recommended Test Script Template as parting of the testing process.  

A script should be developed for each testing scenario, and should be repeated for each testing iteration.
