Test Scripts

name: Test Scripts
description: >-
  Automated scripts used to verify software functionality, validate code behavior,
  and ensure quality through repeatable testing procedures. Test scripts encode
  testing logic in executable form, enabling continuous integration pipelines to
  run validation automatically on every code change. They support unit testing,
  integration testing, end-to-end testing, contract testing, performance testing,
  and security scanning across REST, GraphQL, SOAP, and gRPC APIs.
