I've written test scripts. I needed to interview programmers and to learn
about the application or hardware, though. Whatever I was documenting. The
job title was still Technical Writer. I've never heard of "Programmer
Writer," but I have worked as a Technical Writer and I have had assorted
application development titles. The test script writer always fell under
the technical writer umbrella for me, but it has been awhile since I have
done that.
