Tests of QCD in e+e- Colliders |

| Abstract: |
| Results on Quantum Chromodynamics from electron-positron colliders are reviewed, with emphasis on recent publications from the now completed LEP and SLC programmes. The review is restricted to hadronic final states from the decay of a virtual photon or Z boson, and does not consider hadronic events from four-fermion processes. The measured quantities include jet-rates and distributions of event-shaped variables. The measurements have been used to test the predictions of QCD and to determine the value of the strong coupling constant as. |
