repeatability

Achievable identical outcomes

Repeatability is the quality of being able to be done again with the same results.

In science and engineering, repeatability is essential—an experiment has repeatability if the same procedure yields consistent outcomes: The study's repeatability has been questioned.

Manufacturing processes require repeatability to ensure uniform products.

The term often appears alongside reproducibility, though repeatability typically implies the same conditions and operators, while reproducibility allows for variation.
