I, too, would like to see the term "test assertion" defined in a manner that is approachable by QA practitioners and product developers. "A set of premises that are known to be true by definition in the spec." The above makes me think of my ancient academic study of syllogisms and the like. That's far removed (in my world-view) from the semantic space where a spec (document) specifies (asserts) how a class of product must behave. When testing, you have a product, you stimulate it in some way, and you evaluate whether the resulting behavior conforms to the spec. Where does the "premise" fit in? .................David Marston
