Translating Test Taxonomy for Troglodytes

Michael Hunter of
Microsoft writes a nice blog about testing practices over at Dr. Dobb’s.  
He recently posted about some common
software test terms and solicited questions about other terms some of us might
find confusing, so I responded. 

His post
today is a response to my questions about some testing terms that have seemed
ambiguous in my experience.  His definitions are so good that it is hard for
me to not republish them here, but just go
see the article.

Thank you, Michael.
