Bluehill

software, a test method is a file that contains a set of defined
parameters that the system uses to run tests, analyze the test data, and
produce calculated results.
Sample A group of material specimens, whose properties are studied and
compared to gain statistical or quality assurance information. For
example, you could take a specimen from different parts of a single
manufacturing run of a material to form a sample of the material. The
sample is then representative of the complete run and you can test it to
ensure that the material quality has remained stable over the complete
run. You perform the same test on each specimen in a sample.
