Forget scripting, I'm just going to write the tests in interpretive dance. That'll really show the maintenance team who's boss!

Structured scripting might work, but it sounds like it could be a bit overkill for this use case. Unless you're dealing with a super complex system, I think the other options might be a better fit.

Haha, linear scripting? What is this, the 90s? That's just asking for trouble. You'd have to update the entire script every time the system changes. No thanks!

Keyword-driven scripting could also be a good option. It gives us the flexibility to add new tests with minimal effort, and the maintenance costs should be relatively low. I'm curious to hear what the others think.

Data-driven scripting seems like the way to go here. It'll allow us to easily maintain and update the tests as the system evolves, without having to re-write the entire script. Plus, the independence from the tool itself is a big plus.
