field trial
Real-world experiment
A field trial is a test conducted under real-world conditions rather than in a laboratory or controlled environment: The vaccine showed promise in field trials across three countries.
In hunting, field trials are competitive events where dogs demonstrate their ability to locate and retrieve game.
Agricultural field trials test crop varieties or farming methods on actual farmland.
