spot test
Rapid sample analysis
A spot test is a quick, informal check rather than a comprehensive examination.
Quality control might involve spot tests on random items from a production line.
Teachers give spot tests—brief, unannounced quizzes—to gauge student understanding.
The term implies sampling rather than systematic review: We do spot tests on incoming shipments.
