Types of Testing
.
We employ a variety of test designs to meet your specific project objectives including:
.
Discrimination (difference) Testing is used to determine if perceptible differences exist between products:
-
Triangle Tests consist of three samples; two are the same and one is different. Panelists are asked to identify the sample that is different from the other two.
-
Duo-Trio Tests consist of two samples and a reference. Panelists are asked to pick the sample that is the same as the reference.
-
Degree of Difference Tests are used to determine how different a sample is from the target.
-
Paired Comparison Tests are used to measure specific attribute differences between samples.
.
Acceptability Testing is used to determine the degree of liking across various product attributes:
-
Hedonic Tests determine the degree of liking across various attributes.
-
Just-About-Right Tests probe the strength of a sensory attribute or characteristic.
-
Preference Tests determine which sample or attribute is preferred.
