Multiplextestid

Multiplextestid is a field or identifier used in software testing to associate results from multiplexed test executions. In multiplexed testing, multiple test cases or events are produced in a coordinated run, often across parallel processes or pipelines. The multiplextestid provides a single reference that links these results for reporting and analysis.

Origin and scope: The term arises in contexts where test results must be aggregated from disparate sources, such as distributed test runners, containerized environments, or cloud-based CI/CD systems. It is typically treated as a string value and not a numeric ID, to preserve cross-system compatibility.

Structure and storage: A multiplextestid often encodes multiple components, such as a run identifier, a batch or suite reference, and a timestamp. The exact format varies by project, but common practice is to keep it human-readable while ensuring uniqueness. In databases, it is stored as a text field and indexed to support fast queries.

Usage: In practice, multiplextestid is used to group results for dashboards, anomaly detection, or audit trails. It enables filtering to a particular multiplexed run, correlating test outcomes across environments, or reconstructing the sequence of operations in a multiplexed workflow.
