Testwert

Testwert is a German noun meaning "test value" and is used in various technical and scientific contexts to denote the numerical result produced by a test, experiment, or evaluation. The term is a compound of Test and Wert and appears in German-language documentation, reports, and academic writing.

In statistics and data analysis, a Testwert can refer to the observed value of a test statistic. For example, the t-Wert or F-Wert obtained in a hypothesis test may be described as a Testwert, often considered together with the corresponding Kritischer Wert (critical value) to assess significance. In measurement science, a Testwert may indicate the outcome of a calibration or validation test and is reported alongside reference values such as Sollwert (setpoint) and Istwert (actual value).

In quality assurance and engineering, Testwert describes the result of a test performed on a component or process. It is compared against specifications to determine pass/fail status. The term is also used in software testing to denote concrete values used in test cases or the observed results of test executions.

In instructional or example contexts, Testwert can function as a placeholder value in demonstrations, similar to a sample value. The plural form is Testwerte.

There is no single entity named Testwert; it is a generic term for test-related values across disciplines. The term is encountered in statistical handbooks, QA standards, and software testing guidelines.
