I need to prepare an integration and test plan to test a moderately large 
software product which has a programatic interface.

I wish to solicit opinions and information regarding:-

1.	What form should should tests be expressed in?

	The two options seem to be either expressing test scripts in a 
programming language or using some form of higher level test specification 
language. 

	Does anyone have or know of any readily available test spec. languages?

2.	Does anyone have any experience with using a test script based
	approach that they could share?

Email responses as well as posting is prefered as postings tend to take quite
a long time to trickle down here.

Thanks in anticipation for any information,
