{{Short description|Platform for conducting testing}} {{More citations needed|date=May 2016}} A '''testbed''' (also spelled '''test bed''') is a platform for conducting rigorous, transparent, and replicable testing of scientific theories, computing tools, and new technologies. The term is used across many disciplines to describe experimental [[research]] and [[new product development]] platforms and environments. They may vary from hands-on [[prototype]] development in manufacturing industries such as automobiles (known as "[[Development mule|mules]]"), aircraft engines or systems and to [[intellectual property]] refinement in such fields as [[development environment (software development process)|computer software development]] shielded from the hazards of testing live.
