@Makarand Dodmis please do not confuse:
that dot is because most certainly that script is not in $PATH and so is the only way to be executed when you get the shell complaining and outputs test.sh not found other than giving the full path to it (when it is found in current directory...)
not the same as
. /test.sh - Notice the space after the dot? This is "sourcing"
./test.sh .. - This is "execute - to be found in current directory"
