A Test Item is a specific component or element within a test object that is evaluated during the testing process. It can refer to individual features, functions, or modules of a software application.
Characteristics:
- Defined Scope: Each test item has a clear purpose and expected behaviour.
- Traceability: Test items should be traceable back to requirements or specifications.
- Measurable Outcomes: The performance of each test item can be assessed against predefined criteria.
Identifying and managing test items effectively is crucial for comprehensive testing coverage and ensuring that all aspects of the application are validated.
