spot-checked
Tested select samples
Spot-checked is the past tense of spot-check, meaning to examine or test a sample rather than the whole: The inspector spot-checked a few crates from each shipment.
The approach balances thoroughness against efficiency—checking enough to catch problems without reviewing everything.
