testees
Those being assessed
Testees are people being tested—examinees, research subjects, or participants in any formal evaluation.
The word appears in educational and psychological literature: The testees were given thirty minutes to complete the assessment.
It's a back-formation from "tester," paralleling examiner/examinee.
The word invites snickers because it sounds like "testes," which limits its use in spoken contexts.
