Terminology used throughout the µTest++ Testing Framework project

ISTQB Glossary

The International Software Testing Qualification Board (ISTQB) provides the following definitions relevant to testing frameworks:

  • test condition: a testable aspect of a component or system identified as a basis for testing (in µTest++ this is implemented as calls to the expect() or assume() functions);
  • test case: a set of preconditions, inputs, actions (where applicable), expected results, and postconditions, developed based on test conditions (in µTest++ this is implemented as calls to the test_case() function);
  • test suite: a collection of test scripts or test procedures to be executed within a specific test run (in µTest++ this is implemented as instances of the test_suite class).
