This paper discusses aspects which have to be considered in order to conduct a successful test experiment. Emphasis is on using data collected from testing large numbers of parts. Statistical arguments are presented relating to making meaningful conclusions, which includes the effects of sample size. Several pitfalls that can corrupt or skew data are discussed, and the importance of unambiguous presentation of data and results is stressed
