Creating Test Scripts

• Sign up for a Gmail account, preferably one that will only be used for test scripts (there's a limit on the free storage space available)
• Click on 'Drive' in the menu at the top to open your storage space
• Open the following template for scripts: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0AgbQ-A847ECqdGZ4T1MtU2ltRmc2VG5Eb1duWDBraXc
• Click on File -> Make a copy to save it to your Drive location
• Rename the copy with the tool name that you will create the scripts for

You can now either use an existing script from Excel and paste the actions and results in the Google spreadsheet, modifying items as needed, or you can create a script from scratch. In order for it to be a usable deep regression script, every page, link, button, text box, etc., needs to be checked. Any interaction between users needs to be checked, and different roles need to be checked.

Tips
