The Wildlife Trusts offer a Biodiversity Benchmark scheme through which companies can be assessed and recognised for their contribution to biodiversity.

The results of this orientation was that MDBMS oriented their performance requirements around a different set of benchmarks ( Analytic Performance Benchmark, APB-1 ) than that of RDBMS ( Transaction Processing Performance Council ( TPC )).

These gentlemen are calling for a resumption of testing -- in the atmosphere -- on the greatest possible scale, all in the name of national security.

It could have unilaterally abandoned further testing on the grounds of the radiation hazard to future generations.

It could have continued testing to the full on the grounds that the radiation danger was far less than the danger of Communist world domination.

conduct engineering research and technical development work to determine, by laboratory and pilot plant testing, the results of the research and studies aforesaid in order to develop processes and plant designs to the point where they can be demonstrated on a large and practical scale ; ;

establish and operate necessary facilities and test sites at which to carry on the continuous research, testing, development, and programing necessary to effectuate the purposes of this Act ; ;

In the industrial field, prospects for higher expenditures on electronic testing and measuring equipment are also quite bright.

In the U. S., strong pressures have been building up for a resumption of tests on grounds that the Russians may be secretly testing.

It is a popular belief that alchemists made contributions to the " chemical " industries of the day — ore testing and refining, metalworking, production of gunpowder, ink, dyes, paints, cosmetics, leather tanning, ceramics, glass manufacture, preparation of extracts, liquors, and so on ( it seems that the preparation of aqua vitae, the " water of life ", was a fairly popular " experiment " among European alchemists ).

A general testing is done on the soil content first.

Still, testing on the subject has been somewhat divided.

In systems engineering it may involve black-box testing performed on a system ( for example: a piece of software, lots of manufactured mechanical parts, or batches of chemical products ) prior to its delivery.

A principal purpose of acceptance testing is that, once completed successfully, and provided certain additional ( contractually agreed ) acceptance criteria are met, the sponsors will then sign off on the system as satisfying the contract ( previously agreed between sponsor and manufacturer ), and deliver final payment.

User tests, which are usually performed by clients or end-users, do not normally focus on identifying simple problems such as spelling errors and cosmetic problems, nor showstopper defects, such as software crashes ; testers and developers previously identify and fix these issues during earlier unit testing, integration testing, and system testing phases.

The research team reported that he did not consume any food or water during the testing periods, although they could not comment on his claim of having been able to survive in this way for 70 years.
