Yeah and that is my point. It would be way better for the entire field of QA if there were at least a commonly agreed base framework of concepts and ways to do and especially to name things, if alone because the lack of standardization wrecks one's ability to even get testers and makes onboarding them to your "in house standards" a very costly endeavour.
