RE: Are we 'programmers' or 'scripters'?
I know this isn't exactly what you were wanting to discuss, but it may be
analogous - in writing about test automation I usually end up
differentiating the role 'test scripter' from 'test developer' depending on
who best knows the business domain (the test scripter) and who best knows the
automation API of the system under test (the test developer).
Both roles require/depend on scripting knowledge, but from different
perspectives. The test scripter translates business scenarios into test
scripts and the test developer writes test cmdlets/functions that bridge the
business scenarios to the system under test.
