A Review of Scripting Techniques Used in Automated Software Testing

Software testing is the process of evaluating the developed system to assess the quality of the final product. Unfortunately, software-testing process is expensive and consumes a lot of time through software development life cycle. As software systems grow, manual software testing becomes more and more difficult. Therefore, there was always a need to decrease the testing time. Recently, automation is as a major factor in reducing the testing effort by many researchers. Therefore, automating software-testing process is vital to its success. This study aims to compare the main features of different scripting techniques used in process of automating the execution phase in software testing process. In addition, an overview of different scripting techniques will be presented to show the state of art of this study.
