A treasure trove of knowledge open to all
02 Jun 2025
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.
