market test

Consumer reaction check

A market test is a trial run of a product, service, or concept with actual consumers before full-scale launch.

Companies use market tests to gauge demand, identify problems, and refine offerings: We did a market test in three cities before the national rollout.

The verb phrase means to conduct such a trial: They're market testing the new packaging.
