Engineering Terms

📄️ API

An API is a set of rules and protocols that allows different software applications to communicate and exchange data with each other.

📄️ Boundary Value Analysis

Boundary Value Analysis is a testing technique that focuses on a system's behavior at the boundaries or edges of valid input data.

📄️ CI/CD Pipelines

CI/CD Pipelines are automated workflows that streamline the process of software development, testing, and deployment.

📄️ Continuous Deployment

Continuous Deployment (CD) is a software engineering practice in which every change that passes automated tests is automatically released to the production environment.

📄️ Device Farm

A Device Farm is a cloud-based service that gives developers and testers access to a wide range of real mobile devices, such as smartphones and tablets.

📄️ Device Matrix

A Device Matrix is a structured grid or table used by software testing teams to plan and manage testing across a diverse set of hardware and software configurations.

📄️ Dynamic Testing

Dynamic Testing is a software testing method that involves executing the code to evaluate functional behavior, memory, and CPU usage.

📄️ Equivalence Partitioning

Equivalence Partitioning is a black-box testing technique that divides a set of test data into partitions or classes where all members are expected to produce the same outcome.

📄️ Screen Readers

A screen reader is a software application that interprets and reads digital content aloud, enabling individuals who are blind or have low vision to interact with computers and mobile devices.

📄️ SDK

An SDK is a comprehensive set of tools that a developer uses to create applications for a specific platform, operating system, or programming language.

📄️ Test Automation Framework

A Test Automation Framework is a structured set of guidelines, tools, and libraries used to automate software testing.

📄️ Test Data Management (TDM)

Test Data Management (TDM) is the process of creating, handling, and securing the data used for software testing.

📄️ Test Documentation

Test Documentation refers to all the official documents created and maintained throughout the software testing lifecycle.

📄️ Test Execution

Test Execution is the phase in the Software Development Life Cycle (SDLC) where testers actively run the test cases on the software to observe its behavior.

📄️ Test Script

A test script is a set of instructions, typically written in a programming language, that automates the execution of a test case.

📄️ Testing Matrix

A Testing Matrix is a structured, tabular document used to plan and track the scope of testing activities.

📄️ Traceability Matrix

A Traceability Matrix is a document that links and maps project requirements to their corresponding test cases.
