independent testing
Outside quality checks
Independent testing is evaluation conducted by parties separate from those who created or have a stake in what's being tested.
The term appears in software development, product safety, and scientific research, where objectivity matters: The drug underwent independent testing before FDA approval.
The independence removes conflicts of interest that might bias results.
