Is there a word for "testing a test" [closed]
Solution 1:
Depending upon where I am in the process I refer to this as "validation of the test cases or of the test plans" or "approval of the test cases or test plans". "Validation of test cases" is closer to the meaning I want, meaning the test cases designed by testers will accurately evaluate the feature. I usually refer to "test cases being approved or not" to demonstrate it is the test cases which have been validated because there is the protentional to mix up the validation of the testing of the software with the validation of the software.
This article "https://www.softwaretestinghelp.com/validation-testing/" differentiates the validation of testing and testing validation.
