    experiments and testing

    Experimental technique is the corner stone of the modern sciences and scientific methods. It is used for verifying theory, developing one, evaluating alternative.

    The other somewhat more independent techniques, as compared to or in content of testing, are the theoretical analysis and numerical simulation.
