Question

What are the benefits of scripting? Are there any ethical dilemmas in this area for a business?

Answer 1

`Hey,

Note: Brother if you have any queries related the answer please do comment. I would be very happy to resolve all your queries.

• 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.
• Developers and testers share a common scripting language, VB.NET.
• If the test application changes, scripts do not have to be rewritten from scratch.
• New test procedures can easily be built by copying and modifying existing scripts.
• Scripts facilitate a modular approach to testing and are highly re-useable. Scripts can call other scripts or functions.
• Scripts can "loop" to test a process over and over.
• Scripts provide quick building of intelligent tests that verify expected results and handle unexpected situations.
• Scripts can document test processes.
• Scripts can be built before the test application is complete.

Ethical dilemma No. 1: Log files -- what to save and how to handle them

Programmers are like pack rats. They keep records of everything, often because it's the only way to debug a system. But log files also track everything users do, and in the wrong hands, they can expose facts users want kept secret.

Ethical dilemma No. 2: Whether -- and how -- to transform users into products

It's a well-worn adage of the startup era: If you're not paying for a service, you're not a customer; you're the product.

On the Internet, "free" services abound. In fact, the question of where the money will come from is often put off, being off putting. We just build the amazingness, keep an eye on the adoption metrics, and figure someone else will take care of the dirty work of keeping the server lights on. Worst case, there are always ads.

Ethical dilemma No. 3: How much protection is enough

Some say that everything should be double-encrypted with two different algorithms and locked in a hard disk that is kept in a safe. Alas, the overhead slows the system to a crawl and makes development 10 times more onerous. To make matters worse, if one bit gets flipped or one part of the algorithm is wrong, the data is all lost because the encryption can't be undone.

Kindly revert for any queries

Thanks.
