Das Testing der neuen App hat mehrere kritische Fehler aufgedeckt.
The testing of the new app revealed several critical errors.
'Testing' is an English word that was adopted directly into German. Like many English words ending in '-ing' that describe a process, such as 'Training' (training) and 'Marketing' (marketing), it is neuter: 'das Testing'.
Das Testing der neuen Funktionen beginnt nächste Woche.
The testing of the new features begins next week.
You can tell from the context whether the technical or medical meaning is intended. Words like 'Software' (software), 'App' (app), or 'System' (system) point to technology, while 'Virus' (virus), 'Krankheit' (disease), or 'Probe' (sample) point to the medical field.
Das Testing der Software hat unerwartete Probleme gezeigt.
The testing of the software revealed unexpected problems.
In a technical context, 'Testing' is often used with these verbs and adjectives: 'ein Testing durchführen' (to carry out testing), 'das Testing abschließen' (to complete testing), 'automatisches Testing' (automated testing), or 'manuelles Testing' (manual testing).
Wir müssen vor der Veröffentlichung ein gründliches Testing durchführen.
We have to carry out thorough testing before publication.
In the medical field, the following combinations are common: 'flächendeckendes Testing' (widespread testing), 'sich einem Testing unterziehen' (to undergo testing), or 'das Testing auf ein bestimmtes Virus' (testing for a specific virus).
Die Regierung plant ein flächendeckendes Testing in den Schulen.

'der Test' and 'das Testing' both have to do with checking. 'Test' often refers to a single check or examination: 'ein Gerätetest' (a device test), 'ein Softwaretest' (a software test), or 'ein medizinischer Test' (a medical test). 'Testing' refers more to the whole process, especially in technical or medical contexts. This can include many individual tests. They can be confused because they sound similar and often occur in the same field. If you mean a single result or a single examination, 'Test' fits better. If you mean the planned, systematic work of checking, 'Testing' fits better.
Vor der Veröffentlichung braucht die Software noch gründliches Testing.
