Writing script-based test plans

This section guides you through writing a script-based Test Plan from a blank file. Script environments and scenarios run shell commands directly on the host instead of using docker compose and containers.

When to use script-based test plans

The docker compose tutorial is the recommended starting point. Script-based test plans are for cases where docker isn’t available or isn’t suitable — for example, when testing infrastructure that already manages its own lifecycle, or in environments where docker is not permitted.
