subtests

Parts within examinations

Subtests are the component tests within a larger test or assessment.

A standardized intelligence test might include subtests for vocabulary, spatial reasoning, and working memory, each measuring a distinct ability that contributes to an overall score.

In software testing, subtests break down a test suite into smaller, more focused units: The parsing subtest passed, but the validation subtest failed.
