Abstract
NLO theoretical calculations including mass effects allow performing experi mental tests of QCD. Precise determinations of the ratio alpha(s)(b)/alpha( s)(uds) performed by DELPHI, SLD and OPAL collaborations have confirmed the flavour independence of the strong interactions. Two compatible values of the b-quark running mass, mb(Mz) as defined in the (M) over bar (S) over ba r scheme at the M-Z scale have been extracted by DELPHI and SLD.
