dummy runs
Trial before commitment
Dummy runs are practice attempts or trial operations performed before the real thing, allowing participants to identify problems and get comfortable with procedures.
The term appears in contexts ranging from military exercises to software testing to theatrical rehearsals.
We did a few dummy runs before the actual broadcast to work out the timing.
In data processing, a dummy run tests a program's logic without processing live data.
