testabil

Testabil is an adjective used in Romanian to describe something that can be tested or subjected to empirical examination. In Romanian technical writing, the term marks a property of objects, hypotheses, systems, or processes that allows evidence to be gathered to confirm or falsify them. In English, the corresponding term is typically “testable,” but testabil appears in multilingual contexts and reflects the same core idea: the capacity for evaluation through observation, measurement, or experimentation. The broader notion of testability is closely related to scientific methods and, in philosophy of science, to criteria that enable hypotheses to be confirmed or refuted by evidence. Karl Popper’s discussions of falsifiability are often cited as foundational to the idea that a statement must be testable to be scientifically meaningful.

In software engineering and systems design, the term testabil is commonly used to describe code, architectures,

Practices that enhance testabil include unit and integration testing, dependency injection, contract testing, property-based testing, and
