testitulos

Testitulos is a term encountered in discussions around labeling tests in both educational technology and software testing contexts. It functions as the label or title attached to a test item, assessment question, or test case. The word combines the English word test with the Spanish titulo, meaning title, and is used informally to describe the descriptive descriptor that helps users identify the purpose or scope of a test at a glance. It is not a standardized term in major frameworks, but it appears in multilingual or cross-domain discussions where bilingual labeling is common.

In practice, a testitulo serves as metadata that accompanies a test identifier or ID. It emphasizes readability and navigability in test catalogs, dashboards, and reports, aiding testers, instructors, and managers in understanding what a test covers without needing to inspect detailed specifications. In education technology, testitulos may label quiz items, problem sets, or assignments, supporting topic organization and learner guidance. In software testing, testitulos describe the intended behavior or scenario of a test case, complementing more technical attributes such as preconditions, steps, and expected results.

Best practices for testitulos include keeping them concise, typically a short phrase that conveys the objective, avoiding redundancy with the test ID, and aligning them with a consistent taxonomy or topic structure. Stability over version changes aids traceability in test histories and reports. See also: test case, test name, metadata, taxonomy.
