Satoshi Masuda, Jon Duncan Hagar, Yasuharu Nishi, Kazuhiro Suzuki · 2022
A term, "software test architecture" has been discussed and defined. The discussion about analogy with software architecture is still remaining. Software architecture has been already defined and become a general term. In this paper, we discuss and define software test architecture as analogy with software architecture. Software architecture provides a well-developed framework for the structuring of specifications for large-scale, distributed systems. We define objective of software test architecture as helping for testing large-scale complex soft-ware by applying practices of software architecture to software testing.
