An engine test is a procedure to evaluate an engine's performance, safety, or readiness.
Aircraft engines undergo ground tests before flight.
Rocket engines are test-fired on stands before launch.
Mechanics run engine tests to diagnose problems: The engine test revealed a faulty fuel injector.
The term applies broadly to any systematic check of engine function.
