  Vocabulary for the Reflect AI-powered automated end-to-end testing platform,
  covering test management, execution lifecycle, and integration concepts.

terms:
  - term: Test
    definition: >-
      An automated end-to-end test recorded or defined in the Reflect platform.
      Tests represent user workflows recorded in a browser environment and
      parameterized for repeatable execution. Identified by an integer test ID.
    tags:
      - Core Concept

  - term: Execution
    definition: >-
      A single run of a Reflect test or test suite. Created via the POST
      /tests/{test-id}/executions endpoint. Returns an executionId that can
      be polled to check completion and results.
    tags:
      - Core Concept

  - term: Execution Status
    definition: >-
      The current state of a test execution. Values include pending (queued),
      running (in progress), passed (all assertions succeeded), failed
      (one or more assertions failed), and error (execution encountered
      a technical error).
    tags:
      - Status

  - term: Override
    definition: >-
      A runtime parameter substitution applied to a test execution. Allows
      the same test to run against different environments or with different
      data by overriding hostnames (e.g., redirecting from production to
      staging), URL parameters, cookies, headers, localStorage, or
      sessionStorage values.
    tags:
      - Configuration

  - term: Hostname Override
    definition: >-
      A specific type of Override that redirects HTTP requests from one
      hostname to another during test execution. Used to run tests recorded
      against production against staging or preview environments.
    tags:
      - Override
      - Environment

  - term: Variable
    definition: >-
      A named value that can be referenced within a Reflect test and
      overridden at execution time via the variables field in the run
      request body. Supports data-driven testing.
    tags:
      - Parameterization

  - term: AI-Powered Testing
    definition: >-
      Reflect uses AI capabilities to assist with test creation, maintenance,
      and failure analysis. AI can automatically update tests when UI changes
      occur and suggest fixes for failing assertions.
    tags:
      - AI
      - Feature

  - term: End-to-End Test
    definition: >-
      A test that validates complete user workflows from the UI layer through
      all backend systems. Reflect specializes in browser-based end-to-end
      tests that replicate real user interactions.
    tags:
      - Test Type

  - term: emailFailures
    definition: >-
      A boolean parameter in the test run request that, when true, sends
      email notifications to configured recipients when a test execution fails.
    tags:
      - Notification
      - Configuration
