testers
Those who evaluate
Testers are people or devices that test things.
Software testers check programs for bugs.
Product testers evaluate items before release.
A tester can also be a small sample: The store offered perfume testers.
In historical contexts, a tester was a canopy over a bed—from the same root as "test" meaning a shell or covering.
