Definition
A package of one or more tests assembled for a particular role or evaluation purpose.
How should you use this idea?
Keep the total duration proportionate and remove tests that do not measure an essential requirement.
Put it in context
Start with the specific decision you are making, the skill the job requires and the limitations of your evidence. Document your interpretation and give candidates a consistent process.
For legal or regulatory conclusions, obtain qualified advice for your location and circumstances. A glossary definition cannot resolve those questions.
