benchmark
test to measure the performance of a computer system or component
white-box testing
software testing method concerned with the internal workings of the software, as opposed to its functionality
integration testing
phase in software testing in which individual software modules are combined and tested as a group; occurs after unit testing and before system testing
Joint Test Action Group
JTAG (named after the Joint Test Action Group which codified it) is an industry standard for verifying designs of and testing printed circuit boards after manufacture.
acceptance testing
test conducted to determine if the requirements of a specification or contract are met
black-box testing
method of software testing that examines the functionality of an application without peering into its internal structures or workings
system testing
testing conducted on a complete integrated system to evaluate the system's compliance with its specified requirements
USB Killer
USB thumb drive that allegedly destroys the physical component of any hardware device that it is connected to
testbed
A testbed (also spelled test bed) is a platform for conducting rigorous, transparent, and replicable testing of scientific theories, computing tools, and new technologies.
POST card
plug-in diagnostic interface card that displays progress and error codes generated during power-on self-test (POST) of a computer
Burn-in
thumb|Burn-in periods correspond to the early portion of the bathtub curve, where early failures decrease over time thumb|Power supply unit from a 1980s [[Hewlett-Packard workstation computer, with burn-in checkpoint from the factory marked in the sticker at center]] Burn-in is the process by which components of a system are exercised before being placed in service (and often, before the system being completely assembled from those components). This testing process will force certain failures to occur under supervised conditions so an understanding of load capacity of the product can be establ
Boundary scan
testing method on printed circuit boards
gray-box testing
software testing
automatic test equipment

in-circuit testing
method of testing electronic circuits
Boundary scan description language
description language for electronics testing
automated optical inspection
Systems that use image processing methods to find and report defects in production and other goods
Design for testing
IC design techniques that include testability features
device under test
