How it's used

Unlike the general verb 試, which can mean to test or to try something on, 試行 specifically implies the implementation of a policy, system, or procedure on a trial basis. It carries a formal or professional tone, often appearing in business or administrative contexts. It suggests a structured approach where something is put into practice to evaluate its effectiveness before full adoption.

Common mistake

Do not use 試行 for trying out physical objects like clothes or food, as it is strictly for abstract concepts like rules, schedules, or software. Use 試吓 or 試用 instead for those cases.
