You can call something that is being tested on a "test subject" or a "trial participant."
The variable part of the experiment that is being tested is called the independent variable. It is the factor that is manipulated or changed by the researcher to see its effect on the dependent variable.
In science, the control is what is used as a standard of comparison in an experiment. It is not something being tested, but rather it is used to provide a baseline to compare the results of the experiment against. The control helps to ensure that any changes observed in the experimental group are due to the variable being tested, and not some other factor.
The factor not being tested in an experiment is called a control variable. Control variables are kept constant throughout the experiment to ensure that any changes in the outcome can be attributed to the factor being tested.
The fracture point of the material being tested in the experiment is the point at which it breaks or fails under stress.
The tensile strength of the material being tested is measured in pounds per square inch (psi).

Medicines and other things are often tested on small animals. Being a guinea pig means things are being tested on you or are asking you to try something out.

The factor being tested is the dependent variable.
The name given to something that is being tested and changed on purpose is called a prototype. This is a preliminary model designed to evaluate and refine a concept before full implementation.
Independent Variable __________________________________________________________ antibiotics
The control, or control group, goes through all the steps of an experiment, but does not contain the factor being tested, which is called the experimental variable or independent variable.
For something to be a theory it must have already gone through the hypothesis stage, being tested and accepted.
