The image displays statistics about the Ministry of Testing (MoT) Glossary. It states that "As at June 2nd 2025, on the MoT Glossary there are..." followed by:

178 terms
283 definitions
At the bottom, it shows the website address: ministryoftesting.com/glossary. A small rocket icon is visible in the top right corner.

It's the 2nd of June 2025 and there are 178 terms and 283 definitions in MoT's software testing glossary. We check how many items are in the MoT Glossary each week. It contains an incredible amount of knowledge from the community.

Here's the extra cool thing: if you're a professional member, you can add a definition. And if you spot a missing term, share your idea in the MoT Slack.

These glossary items help us see things from different angles, so the more terms and definitions the better. Keep 'em coming.
