Throughout this Handbook we will be investing certain terms with specific meanings.
在这本手册整个我们会定下某些条款具有特定的含义。
Requiremen需求
A required feature or function of the application under test. A business requirement is a statement of function that is necessary for the application to meet its intended use by the customer: the “what” of the system. A design feature is an attribute of the way in which the functions are actually implemented: the “how” of the system. A performance requirement spells out the volume and speed of the application, such as the maximum acceptable response or processing time and the highest number of simultaneous users.
一个必需的功能或测试的应用程序的功能。业务需求是功能的声明是必要的应用程序，以满足客户的用途：“是什么”的系统。一个设计特点是在这些功能的实际执行方式的属性：“怎么样”的制度。一性能需求阐明了该应用程序，的数量和速度，如最大可接受响应或处理时间和最高的数个用户同时使用的。
Test测试
This term will be used to describe the combination of a test case and a test script, as defined below.
该术语将被用来描述一个测试用例和测试脚本的组合，如下文所定义。
Test Case测试用例
A test case is a set of inputs and expected application response that will confirm that a requirement has been met. Depending on the automation approach adopted, a test case may be stored as one or more data records, or may be stored within a test script.
测试用例是一组输入和预期的应用响应，将确认的要求已得到满足。根据所采用的自动化方法中，测试情况下，可以存储为一个或多个数据记录，或者可以在测试脚本存储。
Test Script测试脚本
A test script is a series of commands or events stored in a script language file that execute a test case and report the results. Like a program, a test script may contain logical decisions that affect the execution of the script, creating multiple possible pathways. Also,depending on the automation approach adopted, it may contain constant values or variables whose values change during playback.The automation approach will also dictate the degree of technical proficiency required to develop the test script.
测试脚本是一系列指令或事件存储在脚本文件，执行测试用例和报告的结果。像程序，测试脚本可以包含逻辑的决定，在执行脚本的影响，可能造成多个信号通路。同时，这取决于采用的自动化方法，它可以包含常量或变量的值，其值的变化在回放的方法，自动化的程度也将决定毕业生所需的技术能力开发测试脚本。
Test Cycle测试周期
A test cycle is a set of individual tests that are executed as a package, in a particular sequence. Cycles are usually related to application operating cycles, or by the area of the application they exercise, or by their priority or content. For example, you may have a build verification cycle that is used to establish acceptance of a new software build, as well as a regression cycle to ensure that previous functionality has not been disrupted by changes or new features.
一个测试周期是一组执行作为一个包，在一个特定的顺序独立测试。周期通常与应用程序的操作周期，或由它们行使应用程序的区域，或由它们的优先级或内容。例如，你可能有一个用于建立接受一个新的软件版本，以及一个回归周期，以确保以前的功能并没有被打乱的变化或新的功能构建验证周期。
Test Schedule测试计划
A test schedule consists of a series of test cycles and comprises a complete execution set, from the initial setup of the test environment through reporting and cleanup.
测试计划由一系列的测试周期，并包括一个完整的执行集，从测试环境的初始设置通过报告和清理。
