It also aids communication by providing a standard decomposition of the unit testing process.

Audience
The primary audience for this standard is unit testers and unit test supervisors. This standard was developed to assist those who provide input to, perform, supervise, monitor, and evaluate unit testing.

Relationship with Other Software Engineering Standards
ANSI/IEEE Std 829-1983, IEEE Standard for Software Test Documentation, describes the basic information needs and results of software testing. This unit testing standard requires the use of the test design specification and test summary report specified in ANSI/IEEE Std 829-1983. This standard is one of a series aimed at establishing the norms of professional practice in software engineering. Any of the other software engineering standards in the series may be used in conjunction with it.

Terminology
Terminology in this standard is consistent with ANSI/IEEE Std 729-1983, IEEE Standard Glossary of Software Engineering Terminology. To avoid inconsistency when the glossary is revised, its definitions are not repeated in this standard. The test unit referred to in this standard is a specific case of the test item referred to in ANSI/IEEE 829-1983. The term test unit is used because of this standard's narrower scope. The use of the term specification, description, or document refers to data recorded on
