* [[Automated testing]].
** Short program written in a programming language used to test part of the functionality of a software system. Test scripts written as a short program can either be written using a special automated functional GUI test tool (such as [[HP QuickTest Professional]], [[SilkTest|Borland SilkTest]], [[IBM TPNS]] and [[Rational Software|Rational Robot]]) or in a well-known [[programming language]] (such as [[C++]], [[C Sharp (programming language)|C#]], [[Tcl]], [[Expect]], [[Java (programming language)|Java]], [[PHP]], [[Perl]], [[Windows Powershell|Powershell]], [[Python (programming language)|Python]], or [[Ruby programming language|Ruby]]).
