Which term refers to the test performed as a quality assurance measure?

• A. Acceptance Test
• B. Certification Test
• C. Angle of Approach
• D. Cavitation

Answer: (B)

In quality assurance, a formal test that proves a product meets specified standards and requirements before it is released is the certification test. It provides documented evidence that the equipment or system complies with design, safety, and performance criteria, and is fit for use. For example, after manufacturing, the unit may undergo certification testing to show it meets industry standards and internal quality criteria, resulting in official certification of quality. The other options don’t fit this QA purpose: an acceptance test checks if a delivered item meets contract specs for customer acceptance, while angle of approach and cavitation refer to unrelated concepts.
