Running a Shell script from the current directory without "./filename"

I created a file called "testfile" and made it executable with chmod +x testfile. To execute the testfile, I need to run the command ./testfile.

I need to know if there is a way to run the program without using ./and execute the file with the command testfile?

Below is a simple code inside the "testfile" file

echo Todays date is : 
date

You can execute it without. / using:

sh testfile

or

sh /path/to/file/testfile

Edit
If you want to execute a program directly using a command, then you can define an alias:

alias execute_testfile="sh /path/to/file/testfile"

And then you will execute the program whenever you write

execute_testfile

, .

, alias ... ~/.profile ~/.bash_profile.
