Acknowledgments

It is our humble effort to create and maintain a place in web to clarify terms used by QA folks in plain and simple English as much as possible.

For several of these terms there are official definitions that several groups or organizations provide. Some terms are mostly used in general and the meaning of each of these terms vary based on Context. 

We have sourced this information from  several sources in order to provide as comprehensive a view as possible.

We acknowledge below most of these sources.
