An environment containing hardware, instrumentation, Test Environment simulators, software tools, and other support elements needed to conduct a test. The process of running a test on the component or system Test Execution under test producing actual result(s). The individual element to be tested. There usually is one Test Item test object and many test items. See also test object. A group of test activities that is organized and managed together. A test level is linked to the responsibilities in a Test Level project. Examples of test levels are component test, integration test, system test, and acceptance test. A chronological record of relevant details about the Test Log execution of tests. The planning, estimating, monitoring, and control of test Test Management activities typically carried out by a test manager. The person responsible for management of project testing activities, resources, and evaluation of a test object. The Test Manager individual that directs, controls, administers, plans, and regulates the evaluation of a test object. The component or system to be tested. See also test item. Test Object A distinct set of test activities collected into a manageable Test Phase phase of a project (e.g., the execution activities of a test level). A document describing the scope, approach, resources, and schedule of intended test activities. It identifies, among other test items: the features to be tested, the testing tasks, the resource that will perform each task, the degree of Test Plan tester independence, the test environment, the test design techniques, the entry and exit criteria, and any risks requiring contingency planning. It is a record of the test planning process. See also Master Test Plan. Test Planning The activity of establishing or updating a test plan. Test Result See result. Test Scenario See test procedure specification.
