assay bench
banc de test


Explanation:
'The Fischer assay is a performance test such as the octane number of motor fuels or the tensile strength of fibers. Because it is an assay - a performance test - the data obtained are quite dependent upon the test procedure.'

"Un banc de test est un système physique permettant de mettre un produit en conditions d'utilisation paramétrables et contrôlées afin d'observer et mesurer son comportement. Le banc de test mesure les performances du produit grâce à des instruments de mesure."

"Banc d'essai" semble moins approprié car plutôt destiné à la mise au point d'un système : "en phase de développement, un banc d'essai est une plate-forme permettant de mesurer les performances d'un système (ou d'un sous-système) et d'en effectuer la mise au point".
