I have been asked to write manual test scripts that address several batch processes. I am having a difficult time sorting out how to write them. Does anyone know of any? Or have any?
A:
Can you be more specific?
What sort of platform would these scripts run against? A database? File system?

They will be run against a database.

Well it depends on what processes you're testing. If you're trying to test a complex process, like billing a customer for electricity consumption, you might have to break it up into phases. A first phase might be to simulate electricity usage according to certain customer types, meter types, other characteristics. A second phase would be taking the usage and calculating what rates to charge (for example, if the usage overlaps several billing periods). If you can provide more details about the processes, I could mock up some rough examples of how you might test them.
