Abstract

In science and engineering, objects of interest have to be characterized by measurement and testing. Measurement is the process of experimentally obtaining quantity values that can reasonably be attributed to a property of a body or substance. Metrology is the science of measurement. Testing is the technical procedure consisting of the determination of characteristics of a given object or process, in accordance with a specified method.
