   What is testware?

As we know that hardware development engineers produce hardware.
Software development engineers produce software. Same like this,
Software test engineers produce testware.

Generally speaking, Testware a sub-set of software with a special
purpose, i.e. for software testing, especially for software testing
automation.

Testware is produced by both verification and validation testing
methods. Like software, Testware includes codes and binaries as well as
test cases, test plan, test report and etc. Testware should be placed
under the control of a configuration management system, saved,
faithfully maintained.

Like software, the testware has significant value because it can be
reused.The tester’s job is to create testware that is going to have a
specified lifetime and is valuable asset to the company.

But compared with general software, testware is special because:

1. Different purpose 

2. Different metrics for quality 

3. Different users

The different methods should be adpoted when you develope testware with what you use to develope general software.

Testware is also referred as test tools in a narrow sense.
