Substantive testing: A type of testing that focuses on the accuracy and completeness of data rather than the technical functionality of a system. It is used in auditing and quality assurance to verify the integrity of financial records and other important data. Examples include testing the accuracy of financial statements, testing the completeness of inventory records, and testing the reliability of voter registration records.
