27
Error
A human action that produces an incorrect result.
28
Test condition
A stable aspect of a component or system identified as a basis for testing.
29
Test completion
The activity that makes test-ware available for later use, leaves test environments in a satisfactory condition, and communicates the results of testing to relevant stakeholders.

Testware
Work products produced during the test process for use in planning, designing, executing, evaluating, and reporting on testing.
35
Testing
The process consisting of all lifecycle activities, both static and dynamic, concerned with planning, preparation and evaluation of a component or system and related work products to determine that they satisfy specified requirements t, to demonstrate that they are fit for purpose and to detect defects.
36
Test suite
A set of test scripts or test procedures to be executed in a specific test run.
37
Test process
The set of interrelated activities compromising of 'test planning', 'test monitoring and control', 'test analysis', 'test design', 'test implementation', 'test execution', and 'test completion'.
38
Test procedure
A sequence of test cases in execution order, and any associated actions that may be required to set up the initial preconditions and any wrap up activities post execution.
39
Test planning
The activity of establishing or updating a test plan.
