An encryption protocol common to UNIX networks that allows a remote access server to forward a user's logon password to an authentication server to determine whether access can be allowed to a given system. 

A hardware interface between a computer and an Integrated Services Digital Network line. It's what replaces a modem when you are using an ISDN connection. 

A terminal emulator, terminal application, term, or tty for short, is a program that emulates a video terminal within some other display architecture. Though typically synonymous with a command line shell or text terminal, the term terminal covers all remote terminals, including graphical interfaces. A terminal emulator inside a graphical user interface is often called a terminal window.

A program that acts as an interface for VoIP phones. The TPS provides multiple VoIP telephone sets with a common configuration, facilitating safe and reliable operation of each supported set.

A hardware device or server that provides terminals (PCs, printers, and other devices) with a common connection point to a local or wide area network. 

A program that is set up to be loaded and then remain in computer memory so that it is quickly accessible when a user presses a certain keyboard combination. TSR programs are used in Disk Operating Systems and other non-task operating systems. 

The use of special software in software testing to control the execution of tests, the comparison of actual outcomes to predicted outcomes, the setting up of test preconditions, and other test control and test reporting functions.

A test case, is a set of conditions or variables under which a tester will determine whether the application under test is working as per the requirement mentioned in the requirement document.  

A software testing engineer checks software to ensure that the programs or utilities are performing properly. A testing engineer's job includes designing, building and implementing effective testing strategies. Testing engineers utilize three types of testing strategies which are known as black box, white box and gray box testing.

Test execution is the process of executing the code and comparing the expected and actual results. Some of the factors you should considered for a successful test execution process include Based on a risk, select a subset of test suite to be executed for this cycle; assign the test cases in each test suite to testers for execution; execute tests, report bugs, and capture test status continuously; resolve blocking issues as they arise; report status, adjust assignments, and reconsider plans and priorities daily; report test cycle findings and status.

Test leads are involved in the planning, monitoring, and control of the testing activities and tasks. At the ourset, test leads work in collaboration with the other stakeholders, devise the test objectives, organizational test policies, test strategies and test plans. They estimate the testing to be done and negotiate with management to acquire the necessary resources. They lead, guide and monitor the analysis, design, implementation and execution of the test cases, test procedures and test suites. They ensure proper configuration management of the testware produced and traceability of the tests to the test basis.

Test management process of managing the software tests. A test management tool is software used to manage tests (automated or manual) that have been previously specified by a test procedure. It is often associated with automation software.

Test management tools are used to store the information how the testing is to be done, plan the testing activities and report the status of quality assurance activities. The tools have different approach to testing and thus have different set of features. Test management tools offer the prospect of streamlining the testing process and allow quick access to data analysis, collaborative tools and easy communication across multiple project teams. Many test management tools incorporate Requirements management capabilities to streamline test case design from the requirements. Tracking of defects and project tasks are done within one application to further simplify the testing.

A Test Manager is the one who assign people (Testers or Quality Analysts) to project, track progress and provide feedback or coaching whereever necessary. They help testers create test strategies, implement testing process and create test infrastructures.
