standarditestid

Standarditestid is a term used in the context of software testing and standards management to denote a standardized identifier for test items such as test cases, test data, and test execution records. The concept is not tied to a single formal standard and is described in various industry discussions and proposals as a means to improve traceability and interoperability across testing tools.

Purpose and use: It would enable linking test artifacts to requirements and to results, enabling consistent tagging, versioning, and filtering across workflows. In practice, a standarditestid would be embedded in test management systems, defect trackers, and reporting dashboards, allowing automated aggregation and cross-tool integration.

Typical structure: A standarditestid is envisaged as comprising a prefix identifying the standardization domain, a unique numeric or alphanumeric sequence, and an optional version or environment component. Examples include STD-TEST-001234 and STD-TEST-001234-V1. Some variants may incorporate a body part for test type (e.g., UNIT, INTEGRATION, E2E).

Status and governance: There is no single formal standard covering standarditestid; instead, it appears as a concept in conversations about test data governance and interoperability. Organizations may implement their own conventions, often aligned with internal standards, data models, or vendor capabilities. Related concepts include test case identifiers, numeric IDs, and data tagging.
