Empirical Testing

Empirical testing is a method of gathering information through observation and experimentation to determine the validity of an idea or hypothesis. It involves collecting data from real-world experiments or observations rather than relying solely on theories or opinions. This approach helps researchers verify if their ideas hold true under actual conditions. For example, testing whether a new drug works by conducting clinical trials is empirical testing. It provides objective evidence that supports or refutes the hypothesis, ensuring conclusions are based on measurable, observable facts.
