Usage tips
Compound word
The word is clearly composed of 'der Test' (the test) and 'das Ergebnis' (the result). The 's' in between is a linking s, which connects the two words. So the meaning is literally the result of a test.
EXAMPLE
Wann bekommen wir die Testergebnisse der Prüfung?
When will we get the test results from the exam?
Typical adjectives
For medical or scientific tests, the most common adjectives are 'positiv' (positive) and 'negativ' (negative). A positive test result often means that something was found (e.g., a disease), while a negative one means that nothing was found.
EXAMPLE
Sie war erleichtert, als sie ihr negatives Testergebnis erhielt.
She was relieved when she received her negative test result.
Typical usage
When it comes to product tests, the result is often introduced with the phrase 'laut Testergebnis' (according to the test result). This expression is often found in consumer magazines or on websites.
EXAMPLE
Laut Testergebnis hat diese Kamera das beste Preis-Leistungs-Verhältnis.
According to the test result, this camera has the best price-performance ratio.
Compare with
Testergebnis vs Befund
finding / result
The test result directly states what came out of a medical test. A Befund summarizes the result of a medical examination in technical terms. For a single test, Testergebnis is therefore often the better choice; for the doctor's summary, Befund is more appropriate.
Testergebnis
Das Testergebnis der Blutprobe liegt morgen vor.
The blood test result will be available tomorrow.
Befund
Die Ärztin bespricht morgen den Befund der gesamten Untersuchung mit mir.
The doctor will discuss the findings from the entire examination with me tomorrow.
