  • The significance or importance of the test method and its intended use.
  • Terminology and definitions to clarify the meanings of the test method
  • A listing of the types of apparatus (and the specific device) required to conduct the test
  • Sampling procedures. How are samples to be obtained. Number of samples.
  • Preparation of samples for the test
  • Detailed procedure for conducting the test
  • Calculations and analysis of data
  • Interpretation of data and test method output
  • Report: format, content, data, etc

The test result can be qualititive (yes/no), categorical, or quantititive (a measured value). It can be a personal observation or the output of a precision instrument.

 

Usually the test result is the dependent variable, the measured response based on the particular conditions of the test or the level of the independent variable. Some tests, however, involve changing the independent variable to determine the level at which a certain response occurs: in this case, the test result is the independent variable.
