Concepts and
terminology
Notice that the full description for each of these eight tests is formed by
joining the descriptions along the branch that leads to the test. This can be
seen more clearly when the outline is rewritten as a tree:
Test Descriptions Because the last, or terminal, point along a path
completes a test description, each terminal point in an outline is referred to as
a test description. When QA Organizer is interpreting your outlines, it knows
that when it reaches a terminal point, there should be a test that can be
executed. Test descriptions by default are displayed in blue in the outline
editor.
