How it's used
Focuses specifically on scientific or medical analysis performed in a professional setting. While it can be used as a verb, it is very common to hear it as a noun phrase when referring to the test results or the act of testing itself. It carries a formal tone despite being used in daily life for health checkups.
Examples
The doctor asked me to take a urine sample for testing.

Common mistake
Do not use this for simple household checks or casual inspections, as it implies a formal laboratory environment. Use 檢查 for general checkups or testing things at home.
