Wikipedia: Scaffolding is a project generation technique supported by various tools.

In your examples, I don't believe the term 'scaffolding' refers to two different things, but instead is being used as a spectrum.

The difference is between the adjectives generic and specific. Specific is something clearly defined or identified, whereas generic applies to a group of things and is the exact opposite of 'specific'.

So, in testing terms, does the scaffolding serve a generic purpose or a more specific one?
