# What is GENI Script Generation?
**GENI Script Generation** is the generative-AI engine inside Appvance IQ that converts plain-English, step-by-step test cases into fully executable test scripts. You describe what to test the same way a manual tester documents it — GENI writes the automation.
Scripts are produced in bulk — roughly **100 scripts per hour**, and up to **400x faster** than a human scripter — and they require no ongoing maintenance. When the application under test changes, you regenerate instead of repair.
GENI Script Generation is available from **AIQ 5.3.6 (build 536)** onward, and is accessed from the **GENI** area in AIQ.
**In short:** describe the test in English, and GENI Script Generation delivers the executable script — at scale.
### What you get in the GENI area
Opening the GENI area in AIQ presents three options. **Script Generation** and **Script Generation Import** are enabled by the GENI license; the Transformation Factory is a separate, complementary capability.
- **Script Generation** — converts your Excel- or TMS-based test cases into executable test scripts.
- **Script Generation Import** — imports generated scripts and scenarios back into Appvance IQ, so they run inside the AIQ scenario editor alongside other test types.
- **Transformation Factory** — automates the full QA artifact chain (requirements to scripts and back). See the [GENI Transformation Factory](https://docs.appvance.net/books/14-new-features/chapter/geni-transformation-factory) chapter.
**Remember:** Script Generation is *English test case in, executable script out*. No Blueprint, no Digital Twin, no recorder.
**Important — GENI Script Generation is NOT AISG.** **AISG (AI Script Generation)** is the autonomous-testing module inside AIQ that explores applications and builds the **Digital Twin**. GENI Script Generation does not use Blueprint or Digital Twin technology: it converts the English test case directly into a script using specially tuned transformer models and a proprietary code generator. AISG is documented in its own book: [AI Script Generation (Autonomous Testing)](https://docs.appvance.net/books/21-ai-script-generation-autonomous-testing).
### Key numbers
100
scripts generated per hour
400x
faster than human scripters
70%
of end-to-end testing is manual today
85%
of QA automation resources go to scripting & maintenance
**Batch runtime is roughly constant.** Because every test case runs in parallel on its own isolated instance, a batch takes about **2 hours** whether you submit 1 test case or 100 — capacity scales linearly.
### GENI Script Generation vs AISG — side by side
| GENI Script Generation | AISG (AI Script Generation) |
|---|
| Converts plain-English test cases into executable test scripts | Explores applications autonomously and builds the Digital Twin (`.abp`) |
| 100 scripts per hour · 400x faster than human scripters | Formerly “Blueprint Designer” / “AI Blueprinting”; under **Autonomous Testing** in AIQ 5.2+ |
| Input: an Excel file or a TMS connection. Output: a script you can download and edit | Input: an application and specific flows. Output: the Digital Twin plus coverage insight |
| No Blueprint, no Digital Twin, no recorder | Uses the Digital Twin as its core artifact |
### How it works — at a glance
1. **Bring your test cases** — the English, step-by-step scenarios you want to automate, in Excel or from your TMS.
2. **Map and validate the batch** — GENI auto-detects the columns and tells you exactly how many test cases are ready.
3. **Generate** — a single action, *Transform Test Scripts*, converts each test case into a script in parallel.
4. **Run and schedule** — group the scripts into scenarios and run them on demand or in CI/CD, with screenshots and reports for every execution.
