testowane

Testowane is a Polish word that functions as the past passive participle of the verb testować, meaning that something has undergone testing. It is used as an adjective to describe nouns in contexts where a product, process, or object has been evaluated.

In practice, testowane appears in technical, scientific, and regulatory language. Examples include testowana aplikacja (tested application) and testowane urządzenie (tested device). The term is common in labeling, quality assurance reports, software validation, and clinical research, where it signals that an item has been subjected to formal testing and assessment.

Grammatical use follows standard Polish agreement rules for participles: the form adapts to the gender and number of the noun it modifies. Thus, testowane can describe neuter nouns or be used in fixed phrases, while feminine or masculine forms (such as testowana or testowany) may be used with corresponding gendered nouns. The overall meaning remains that testing has taken place.

Etymology and related terms: testowane derives from the verb testować (to test). Related forms include przetestować (to test thoroughly) and testowy (pertaining to tests or testing). In contrast, przet etestowany or przetestowany emphasizes a completed, often thorough, testing process. Testowane, by itself, indicates that testing has occurred, without specifying the depth or conclusiveness of the evaluation.
