Keyword-driven scripting is the perfect choice. It's like a secret language that only the test engineers can understand. Shh, don't tell the maintenance team!

Keyword-driven scripting is the way to go! It's like building a LEGO set - you just need to follow the instructions.

I'll have to go with keyword-driven scripting. It's like writing a script in plain English, which should make it easy for the maintenance team to understand and update.

Data-driven scripting seems like a good option too. It can help reduce the cost of adding new tests and make the tests more reusable.
