{#r_TestManagementKeyTerms__table_aqk_ykw_yq__entry__2}

| Term | Definition |
|-|-|
| Test suite | A repository of test cases. Test cases in a test suite can be copied over to a test plan. |
| Test case | A collection of related tests. A test case is saved as part of a test suite and can be added to a test plan. Each test case within a test plan has an assigned tester. |
| Test | A collection of conditions or steps used to determine whether a feature is working correctly. A test also includes an expected result, which is used to determine if the test case passes or fails. |
| Test plan | The tasks for how a product or a feature is to be tested. A test plan includes one or more test cases and can also specify a test environment. The test manager uses the test plan to assign and execute test cases and to track the testing progress. |
| Test environment | The instance where testing should be performed, specified as a URL. A test environment is an optional parameter that the test manager can associate with a test plan. |
| Test execution | The process of performing tests. The test manager assigns testers to test cases in a test plan; testers perform the tests in the assigned test cases. |
| Guided test execution | An automated notification process for performing tests. The test manager assigns testers to test cases in a test plan and initiates testing from the Test Plan form. Testers receive notification to begin testing using the Assessments engine. |
