Scripting

Scripting is a series of commands that are able to be executed without the need for compiling. It is a programming language that executes tasks within a special run-time environment by an interpreter instead of a compiler. They are usually short, fast, and interpreted from source code or bytecode. Good examples of server-side scripting languages include Perl, PHP, and Python. The best example of a client side scripting language is JavaScript.

Scripting languages are mostly used to automate processes at the application level. At the command line or through a web server, they are able to execute programs running on a web server and display the appropriate results to the users.Scripts enable power and flexibility because they are highly extensible. Users can develop highly complex solutions for complex test cases with the power of . NET scripting. With scripts, users can leverage the functionality provided by external assemblies to enhance the functionality available within scripts.
