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!

Folks, I am using Apache 1.3.x with PHP 4.3.x and MySQL v4. Short question: Before I put my web form available on the internet, how can I test it from mis-use in such that special characters are ignored? I have tried entering data such as `/bin/date > /tmp/1234` and this does not create a temporary file (which is what I would expect, meaning that my form is safe).

I'm posting this message for 2 reasons. First, I'm still pretty new and shakey to the whole Acceptance Testing thing, and I'm hoping for some feedback on whether I'm on the right track. Second, although all the Agile literature talks about the importance of doing Acceptance Testing, there's very little in any of the books or out on the Web that helps with how to do it. If I am on the right track, this will be one more helpful item...

Hello. I"m new to this group, and to JavaScript in general, so please forgive me if I breach local etiquette. I'm trying to implement some client-side 'dynamic' validation on a form. I'm having a couple of problems, which I'll try to describe. But this e-mail will only reproduce one of them, in a "short" example. What I'm generally doing is having each form entry contained in a div, which as a label, an input with some event handlers,...

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>". The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed. This is as boiled down as I can make it. Here is my compilation command: g++-12 -std=c++20 -Wnarrowing bit_field.cpp Here is the code in...

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...

Let's talk about the concept of autonomous AI software engineers and no-code agents. These AIs are designed to manage the entire lifecycle of a software development project—planning, coding, testing, and deployment—without human intervention. Imagine an AI that can take a project description, break it down, write the code, debug it, and then launch it, all on its own.... Now, this would greatly impact the work of software developers. The idea...
