tester
One who examines
A tester is someone or something that tests.
A software tester checks programs for bugs.
A product tester evaluates goods before release.
The word also names devices that perform tests: a circuit tester, a battery tester.
In another sense, a tester is a small sample of a product—especially cosmetics or perfume—provided for customers to try before buying.
