## What is ISTQB Glossary?

The ISTQB Glossary app has two main objectives:
- Support the understanding of ISTQB syllabi by defining the terms used in the various
syllabi
- Support communication within the international testing community and with its
stakeholders by providing a standard testing vocabulary.

This app presents concepts, terms and definitions designed to aid communication in (software) testing and related disciplines. It supports the terminology used in the various ISTQB syllabi.

The glossary has been arranged in a single section of definitions ordered alphabetically. Some terms are preferred to other synonymous ones, in which case, the definition of the preferred term appears, with the synonymous ones referring to that. For example structural testing refers to white box testing. For synonyms, the “See” indicator is used.

“See also” cross-references are also used. They assist the user to quickly navigate to the right index term. “See also” cross-references are constructed for relationships such as broader term to a narrower term, and overlapping meaning between two terms.
