A physical test is a

quantitative procedure that consists of determination of one or more characteristics of a given product, process or service according to a specified procedure.[1] Often this is part of an experiment
.

Physical testing is common in physics, engineering, and quality assurance.

Purposes

Physical testing might have a variety of purposes, such as:

Performance testing

Some physical testing is performance testing which covers a wide range of engineering or functional evaluations where a material, product, or system is not specified by detailed material or component specifications. Rather, emphasis is on the final measurable performance characteristics. Testing can be a

quantitative
procedure. Many Acceptance testing protocols employ performance testing e.g. In the stress testing of a new design of chair.
