This will facilitate discussion. More to the point: add more prose and a simple example or two (or more) to "test assertion" definition in the Glossary. The definition should be almost tutorial in nature, so that potential QA practitioners (to use David's term) are very clear about what test assertions are, why they are important, how they fit into the whole big picture (TA -> TP -> TC or some such context). Etc. Even an adaptation of the quote from Mary Brady (your subsequent message in this thread) might be helpful to include. -Lofton.
