226 Annexes
A few of the terms still have inconsistent definitions such as "spatial object". In
those cases both definitions are given. The harmonization of all terms is ongoing in
the ISO/Te2ll groups.
abbreviation
designation formed by omitting words or letters from a longer form and designating
the same concept (lS010 2000, IS036 2002)
abstract test case
generalized test for a particular requirement (lS037 2000)
NOTE
An abstract test case is a formal basis for deriving test cases. One
or more test purposes are encapsulated in the abstract test case. An abstract test case
is independent of both the implementation and the values. It should be complete in
the sense that it is sufficient to enable a test verdict to be assigned unambiguously to
each potentially observable test outcome (i.e. sequence oftest events).
abstract test method
method for testing of implementations independent of any particular test procedures
(lS0372000)
abstract test module
set ofre1ated abstract test cases (lS037 2000)
NOTE
Abstract test modules may be nested in a hierarchical way.
abstract test suite [ATS]
abstract test module specifying all the requirements to be satisfied conformance
(lS0372000)
NOTE
Abstract test suites are described in a conformance c1ause.
accuracy
c10seness of agreement between a test result and the accepted reference value (lS045
2002, IS048 2002)
NOTE 1
A test result can be observations or measurements.
NOTE 2
For positioning services, the test result is a measured value or set
ofvalues.
admitted term
term rated according to the scale of the term acceptability rating as a synonym for a
preferred term (IS010 2000, IS036 2002)
annotation
