| certification | certification file name in directory cert/ | management unit, collection of test case. dovetail tool runs only one certification at a time. | Recommend not using the word certification, nor cert, in our tools or documents. | ||
| scenario | input parameter for dovetail tool | actually the same meaning as certification, seems like a redundant term | Lets not use the term scenario. Can we adopt "test suite" instead? | ||
| test case | test case file in directory testcase/ | running unit, definition of a test case in dovetail, may contains multiple sub test cases | |||
| sub test case | test case definition files | represent test cases from upstream projects (FUNCTEST/YARDSTICK/...) | propose removing this term. "test activity" maybe. | ||
| scripts | test case definition files | dovetail leverages some upstream projects to run tests, such as (FUNCTEST/YARDSTICK/...), scripts includes a list of attributes concerning a certain upstream project, like 'type', 'testcase' and 'sub_testcase_list' | |||
| script test case | parameter name in conf/dovetail_config.yml | a sub set of test cases from upstream projects ( FUNCTEST/YARDSTICK/... ), one script test case may contain several sub test cases | how does this differ from "test suite", is this a "test area"? | ||
