* '''Test Suite''' - or "suite" for short, is a set of bundled tests.  All the "tests" referred to by Datazilla and Talos are actually bundles of individual tests.  ''Dromeao_css'', ''kraken'', ''tp5o'', and ''tscrollx'' are examples of test suites

* '''Test''' - a single test responsible for testing a feature.  Dromaeo_css has 6 tests called dojo.html, ext.html, jquery.html, mootools.html, prototype.html and yui.html.  These can also be called "pages", or "page tests", depending on the suite.

* '''Sub-Test''' -  A test should be the finest grain, but unfortunately some tests bundle yet-deeper-but-unnamed tests into a single result.  These are ETLed into normal tests for dzAlerts to digest, but we need a name for these in the wild.
* '''Replicate''' - Each test is executed (replicated) multiple times, and the result stored in an array.  Each result is called a "replicate", and the array of results is usually referred to as "the replicates".

* '''Sub-Test''' -  A test should be an atom, but unfortunately some tests bundle yet-deeper-but-unnamed tests into their replicates.  These buried tests are called "sub-tests".  To handle the sub-tests, the replicates are further ETLed into normal tests for dzAlerts to digest.  (more below)
