Testbed or test bed












1














Testbed is a platform for conducting rigorous, transparent, and replicable testing of scientific theories, computational tools, and new technologies.



While wikipedia seems to prefer "testbed", Merriam-webster and Oxford prefers "test bed". I have seen "testbed" predominantly in the scientific literature I have been reading. Should I mirror the literature or add the additional space?
