TEST SCRIPT:
———————
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Test_script
A test script is a short program written in a programming language used to test part of the functionality of a software system. A written set of steps that should be performed automatically can also be called a test script, however this is more correctly called a test case.
Any test that is written as a short program is regarded as an automated test. Test scripts written as a short program can either be written using a special manual functional GUI test tool or in a well-known programming language (such as C++, Tcl, Expect, Java, Perl, Python, or more recently, Ruby). Automated test tools can test many areas of system functionality such as the user interface, performance of the system, the system code and the requirements.
Automated testing has the advantage over manual testing in that it is easily repeatable, and thus is favoured when doing regression testing. This however is not always the case as automated tests may be poorly written and can break during playback. Since most systems are designed with human interaction in mind, it is good practice that a human tests the system at some point.
TEST SCENARIO:
===============
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scenario_test
Scenario testing is a software testing activity that uses scenario tests, or simply scenarios, which are based on a hypothetical story to help a person think through a complex problem or system. They can be as simple as a diagram for a testing environment or they could be a description written in prose. The ideal scenario has five key characteristics. It is (a) a story that is (b) motivating, (c) credible, (d) complex, and (e) easy to evaluate. These tests are usually different from test cases in that test cases are single steps and scenarios cover a number of steps. Test suites and scenarios can be used in concert for complete system testing.

Manual Test Script or Test Procedure Specification — is a document specifying a sequence of actions for the execution of a test. It is also known as test script.
A test scenario is almost like a story like example “a user enters into the application from login window by entering valid user name and password.After entering he will click on module Payslip and clicks on latest payslip feature to view his latest payslip”.Any test scenario will contain a specific goal.
It simply expresses test scenario is the” sequence of actions”. for executing test cases.
