kvaliteeditestide

Kvaliteeditestide is an Estonian term that refers to quality tests, a class of testing activities aimed at evaluating the overall quality of a product or system. The term is used in quality assurance and software testing to describe tests designed to assess whether products meet defined quality requirements and stakeholder expectations, across both functional and non-functional dimensions.

In software engineering, kvaliteeditestide typically include functional testing, integration testing, performance and scalability testing, security testing, usability testing, and regression testing. In manufacturing and service industries, kvaliteeditestide may cover acceptance testing, process quality checks, and end-product inspections.

Practices commonly associated with kvaliteeditestide involve defining quality criteria from requirements, creating a test plan and test cases, executing tests, logging defects, and measuring quality with metrics such as defect density, test coverage, and failure rate. Risk-based testing and traceability between requirements and tests are often emphasized to improve efficiency and decision making. Standards such as ISO 9001 or quality models like ISO/IEC 25010 are frequently cited to frame quality expectations.

Etymology and usage: the word is formed from kvaliteet meaning quality and testide meaning tests in Estonian, with genitive plural morphology. See also: Quality assurance, Software testing, Test management.
