Appendix: Glossary of AI Testing Terms

A shared vocabulary makes AI quality work easier to teach, debate, and improve.

glossary terms

What to do

  1. Define runnable checks that exercise glossary terms.
  2. Set acceptable outcomes and blocker failures for glossary terms before running the evaluation.
  3. Run representative cases for glossary terms and preserve the failures that would change the decision.

Evidence to preserve

  • Preserve the inputs, versions, configurations, raw outcomes, and results for glossary terms needed to reproduce work on Appendix: Glossary of AI Testing Terms.
  • Report results for glossary terms by relevant slice, separate blocker failures from averages, state uncertainty and blind spots, and connect the result to a release decision.

Expert note

In a real release review, treat the glossary as a living artifact. Update it when the organization invents new failure categories, metrics, release gates, or governance concepts.
