to isolate and test single variables
The trick to designing a good experiment is to figure out a way for it to test the effects of only one variable, and to avoid any effects of others.
Ideally, an experiment should test only one variable (the independent variable) at a time. If you have two or more variables changing at the same time you have no way of knowing which variable is causing your results.
Because it will perform a test of how two variables might be related. This is when you are doing a real experiment.

Test variables are the factors that are intentionally changed or manipulated by the researcher in an experiment, whereas outcome variables are the factors that are measured and affected by the test variables. Test variables are the independent variables that are controlled by the researcher, while outcome variables are the dependent variables that change in response to the test variables. The relationship between the test variables and outcome variables is explored to determine the effect of the test variables on the outcome variables.
Generally speaking, you only want to test a single variable within one experiment so when a change occurs you know what caused it. If you change multiple variables at once it is harder to attribute the change to a single cause.
The test variable (independent variable) controls the outcome variable (dependent variable).
As many as you need. You can't change more than one if you want accurate results.

it is a fair test
A test is used to determine the performance, reliability, or function of something, while an experiment is a controlled procedure undertaken to discover, test, or demonstrate something. In a test, variables are usually kept constant, whereas in an experiment, variables are intentionally changed to observe their effect.
Ideally, an experiment should test only one variable (the independent variable) at a time. If you have two or more variables changing at the same time you have no way of knowing which variable is causing your results.
