 +
 +===== Discussion =====
 +
 +A Test Asset is an identifiable entity used to define, configure, execute, evaluate, or reproduce a [[public:99_annexes:annex-b-terms-and-definitions:t:test|Test]]. A Test Asset may be executable or non-executable and may be reused by more than one Test.
 +
 +A Test Asset may include:
 +
 +  * A [[public:99_annexes:annex-b-terms-and-definitions:t:test_definition|Test Definition]]
 +  * A [[public:99_annexes:annex-b-terms-and-definitions:t:test_plan|Test Plan]]
 +  * A [[public:99_annexes:annex-b-terms-and-definitions:t:test_sequence|Test Sequence]]
 +  * A [[public:99_annexes:annex-b-terms-and-definitions:t:test_executable|Test Executable]]
 +  * Test data
 +  * An [[public:99_annexes:annex-b-terms-and-definitions:e:expected_result|Expected Result]]
 +  * A Test Environment specification
 +  * A [[public:99_annexes:annex-b-terms-and-definitions:c:configuration|Configuration]]
 +  * A measurement or monitoring specification
 +  * A validation rule
 +
 +A Test Asset may be stored in a repository, identified by a catalog entry, governed by a [[public:99_annexes:annex-b-terms-and-definitions:p:policy|Policy]], associated with a [[public:99_annexes:annex-b-terms-and-definitions:v:version|Version]], and related to other Test Assets through [[public:99_annexes:annex-b-terms-and-definitions:t:traceability|Traceability]].

 +===== Definition =====
 +
 +//identifiable entity used to define, configure, execute, evaluate, or reproduce a test//
 +
 +===== Source =====
 +
 +Dido Solutions, Inc. and Jackrabbit Consulting, Inc., derived from the test work-product and testware concepts in ISO/IEC/IEEE 29119-1:2022
 +
 +===== Note =====
 +
 +A Test Asset is identified by its role in testing rather than by its representation, storage location, ownership, implementation technology, or execution model.
 +
 +A Test Asset differs from a [[public:99_annexes:annex-b-terms-and-definitions:t:test_result|Test Result]]:
 +
 +  * A Test Asset is used to define, configure, execute, evaluate, or reproduce a Test
 +  * A Test Result records information produced by a Test Execution
 +
 +A Test Result may later be selected as an input to another Test. In that role, it also serves as a Test Asset for the later Test.
 +
 +Reusable Test Assets should retain sufficient [[public:99_annexes:annex-b-terms-and-definitions:p:provenance|Provenance]], Version, applicable Requirements, dependencies, and Traceability to support governed reuse.
 +
 +===== Example =====
 +
 +A Test Definition, Test Sequence, Test Executable, input dataset, Expected Result, and Test Environment specification are Test Assets used together to perform and evaluate a repeatable Test.
