kontrollitavad

Kontrollitavad is an Estonian term used to describe items, requirements, or processes that can be checked, tested, or verified to confirm compliance with stated criteria. It is commonly used in quality management, risk assessment, compliance, software testing, and auditing, where clear verifiability is essential.

Etymology: The word is formed from kontrollima (to check, inspect) and the suffix -tav, with the plural ending -ad. As an adjective, kontrollitav describes nouns, and in practice kontrollitavad often refers to a set of checkable things or to verifiable aspects within a plan or project.

Usage: In planning and risk assessment, kontrollitavad are identified as elements that can be tested or demonstrated to meet predefined criteria. Each kontrollitav item should have explicit acceptance criteria, a defined method of verification, and a way to produce evidence. This fosters traceability and objective assessment of whether goals, requirements, or safety targets have been achieved. Items that cannot be readily tested may be treated differently or subjected to alternative evaluation methods.

Examples: kontrollitavad nõuded (verifiable requirements), kontrollitavad protseduurid (verifiable procedures), kontrollitavad kvaliteediparameetrid (verifiable quality parameters). In software development or manufacturing, kontrollitavad items help structure validation and audits around measurable outcomes.
