How to run a vim script interactively from vim command line?

Is there a way to run these scripts from the : commandline with a few keystrokes?

Over the last couple of months, I've built a series of files full of vim-commands to auto-generate boilerplate code for my projects. It's allowed me to work faster.

However, the only way I know how to run these scripts is by assigning them to key-combinations in ~/.vimrc. There's only so many keys I can remap.

Is there a way to run these scripts from the : commandline with a few keystrokes?

For example, I have a unit_test_cpp.vim script, which builds a boilerplate unit test cpp file. I'd like to be able to type

:utc

or some other simple combination of letters with a simple mnemonic to run this script on my currently open file.
