Automation Script

Definitions

1. A script written to perform a repetitive or multi-step task automatically, such as deployment, cleanup, data transformation, or local setup. Automation scripts are often simple at first but can become critical operational tools that deserve versioning, tests, and documentation.

   In plain English: A script that automates a task so people do not have to do it manually each time.

   Example: "The release depended on a brittle automation script that patched config files inline, so the team replaced it with a safer typed deployment tool."
