| The term **Test Resource** has a broader scope than **testware**. Testware consists of work products produced during the test process. Test Resources also include acquired assets, physical equipment, infrastructure components, tools, simulators, reference materials, and other assets that support testing. | The term **Test Resource** has a broader scope than **testware**.
