ISTQB国际软件测试工程师认证

　　Foreword

　　In compiling this glossary the working party has sought the views and comments of as broad a

　　spectrum of opinion as possible in industry, commerce and government bodies and

　　organizations, with the aim of producing an international testing standard which would gain

　　acceptance in as wide a field as possible. Total agreement will rarely, if ever, be achieved in

　　compiling a document of this nature. Contributions to this glossary have been received from

　　the testing communities in Australia, Belgium, Finland, Germany, India, Israel, The

　　Netherlands, Norway, Portugal, Sweden, United Kingdom, and USA.

　　Many (software) testers have used BS 7925-1 since its original publication in 1998. It has

　　served also as a major reference for the Information Systems Examination Board (ISEB)

　　qualification at both Foundation and Practitioner level. The standard was initially developed

　　with a bias towards component testing, but, since its publication, many comments and

　　proposals for new definitions have been submitted to both improve and expand the standard to

　　cover a wider range of software testing. In this new version of the testing glossary many of

　　these suggested updates have been incorporated. It will be used as a reference document for

　　the International Software Testing Qualification Board (ISTQB) software testing qualification

　　scheme.
