testrészeit

testrészeit is a neologism that appears in some German- and French-influenced discussions of testing and project management. It denotes the designated window in a development cycle during which testing activities are performed, before a release or milestone.

Etymology: The term combines the English word test with the German Zeit (time). The accent on é is used in some texts to signal cross-linguistic origin; it is not an established linguistic borrowing in standard usage.

Scope and usage: In software engineering and quality assurance, testrészeit refers to the time period allocated for evaluating new code, running regression suites, and validating fixes after integration. Depending on the project, it can range from one day in fast-moving teams to several weeks for large products or regulated environments. It may encompass automated test execution, manual testing, and defect triage.

Adoption and alternatives: The term is not widely standardized. Many organizations prefer “test window,” “testing window,” or “test interval” to avoid confusion. In academic literature, the concept relates to timing of evaluation rounds and, in psychology, to the timing of test-retest intervals.
