Scripting
Software Development and Engineering Practices
Scripting refers to writing short programs, or scripts, typically in interpreted languages, to automate repetitive tasks, control other software, or glue together different systems. It's a core skill for system administrators, QA testers, and developers who need to automate workflows like file processing, deployment, or testing without writing full standalone applications. Common scripting contexts include shell scripting, browser automation, and task scheduling.
