'Warentest' (product test) is a compound noun made up of 'die Ware' (goods/product) and 'der Test' (test). The '-n-' is a linking element that connects the two words. So it literally means 'a test of goods'.

Common phrases are 'einen Warentest durchführen' (to carry out a product test), 'im Warentest gut/schlecht abschneiden' (to do well/poorly in a product test), or 'laut (dem) Warentest' (according to the product test). These expressions are often used in reports and product comparisons.

test
'der Test' and 'der Warentest' can both check the quality or safety of a product. 'der Test' is the more general word. It can refer to devices, software, medicine, school, or many other areas. 'der Warentest' is more specific: it means that goods, that is, products for buyers, are systematically examined and often compared with one another. Learners may confuse the words because a product test is also a test. If you are saying generally that something is being tried out or checked, 'Test' fits. If products for consumers are being evaluated, 'Warentest' is more precise.
