test method validation

Test method validation is the process of confirming that a testing method reliably produces accurate and consistent results. This ensures that the tests used to measure certain characteristics—like the quality of a product or the effectiveness of a treatment—are trustworthy. Validation involves assessing various aspects, such as precision (consistency of results), accuracy (closeness to the true value), and sensitivity (ability to detect small changes). By validating test methods, organizations can confidently make decisions based on the data, ensuring safety, quality, and compliance with regulations.
