Defining the Phrase "Software Test Architecture" Emerging Idea

this paper examines if the phrase "software test architecture" is universally defined and understood. While there may be some agreement on the phrase within select software communities, there is a lack of world standards on the topic. A lack of common definition and practice should be addressed with the maturing of industry segments. This paper considers the lack of a current world industrial definition of "software test architecture" and then provides some recommendations on emerging future work to assist in the definition efforts.
