Kvaliteetsetest

Kvaliteetsetest is an Estonian-language term that appears in business, quality assurance, and product documentation. It is used to refer to a set of criteria or properties considered to contribute to quality, or to describe the quality-related aspects of a product or process. In practice, the form is most often encountered in compound phrases such as kvaliteetsetest omadustest ("the quality-related properties") or kvaliteetsetest nõuetest ("the quality requirements").

Linguistically, kvaliteetsetest derives from kvaliteetne (high-quality) with the genitive plural ending -setest; it is the case form used when specifying what the set relates to. The expression is common in Estonian corporate and technical writing, but it is not a separate standardized term in international standards.

It is used to describe collections of characteristics used in evaluation, testing, supplier assessment, and documentation. It helps structure quality assurance methods, acceptance criteria, and quality-management processes. In practice, teams may compile kvaliteetsetest omadused such as reliability, safety, usability, and maintainability to guide design and verification.

Related terms include kvaliteetne, kvaliteedikontroll, and kvaliteedijuhtimine. The phrase remains primarily used in Estonian and is seldom used outside.
