Testing can be defined as an endeavor undertaken to try somebody or something out to discover, evaluate, and/or measure the one's capacities and/or characteristics. The word originally came to English from Latin testis that meant a witness or one who attests.
Initial meanings of testing included trial to determine the correctness of something for a noun and examining the correctness of and putting to the proof for gerunds and verbs. Many other words such as testament derived from the same Latin root.
