What if a agar plate is isolated and antibiotic added and result is no growth or inhibition?
This is basically ANTIBIOTIC SENSITIVITY TEST, to test whether the given organism is RESISTANT(no zone of inhibition) or SENSITIVE( zone of inhibition) to the given antibiotic.Zone of Inhibition Testing is a fast, qualitative means to measure the ability of an antimicrobial agent to inhibit the growth of microorganisms.The effectiveness is based upon the size of zone of inhibition,diffusability of antibiotic,size of inoculum,type of media used.example: bacillus organism is inoculated with both PENICILLIN and AMPICILLIN ,zone of inhibition is absent in case of penicillin and present in case of ampicillin, this shows that ampicillin (sensitive) worked effectively when compared to penicillin.

How do you evaluate training effectiveness?
Testing.
What type of testing would be conducted to determine the effectiveness of the manufacturing process?
Production Qualification Testing (PQT).
How to determine whether zone of inhibition is due to death of the bacteria or its inhibition?
If the compound you are testing is bacteriocidal, you will not be able to recover bacteria from the zone of inhibition. If the compound is only bacteriostatic, you should be able to recover bacteria from the zone of inhibition by scraping the surface of the agar and resupending the scrapings in sterile saline and then spreading an aliquot of the suspension on nutrient agar that does not contain the bacteriosttic agent.

Why testing is required?
Automated software testing is the best way to increase the effectiveness, efficiency and coverage of your software testing. It saves time as well as money. It helps in improving the Accuracy of the test results.
How is research done?
Pre-testing, also known as copy testing, is a specialized field of marketing research that determines an ad's effectiveness based on consumer responses, feedback, and behavior. Pre-testing is conducted before implementing the advertisement to customers.

Pre-testing is done before and post-testing is done after. They are typically done before and after a class to measure how much was learned. They can also be done to measure the effectiveness of certain training or therapy.
