A test ban is an agreement to stop testing weapons, especially nuclear weapons.
The term typically appears in diplomatic and arms control contexts: the nuclear test ban treaty, negotiations for a comprehensive test ban.
Countries may observe test bans unilaterally or through international treaties restricting when, where, or how weapons can be tested.
