A glossary is an alphabetical list of words relating to a specific subject - in this case, software testing. It exists to provide multiple definitions, explanations and brief examples due to the varied applications of testing across multiple contexts including industry or company size. The software testing glossary is a free resource available to everybody, without login, built up by the Ministry of Testing community.
