# Evaluation method

Life Sciences Quality Control & Assurance allows users to set up different results evaluation methods by test.

Depending on the test group line setup, the system can verify the following:

- The results quantity against the sample quantity.
- The number of results (replications).

The **Evaluation method** for a test group line can be:

- **Weighted** (quantity-related): the evaluation of the test is performed using the weighted average of the entered results and result quantities.
- **Unweighted** (result-related): the test is evaluated according to the number of entered results and the corresponding values. When the selected method is **Unweighted**, the **Number of results** can be specified.

The evaluation method functionality is integrated with Microsoft’s [**Quick result entry**](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dynamics365/supply-chain/inventory/quality-quick-results-entry) form, allowing users to define the result quantity for **Weighted** results while skipping this information for **Unweighted** results.

#### Example

Test line setup:

- Test A with **Evaluation method** = **Weighted**.
- Test B with **Evaluation method** = **Unweighted**.

The quality order results entry:

- The following results are entered for test A:

| Result quantity | Test result |
| --- | --- |
| 0.5 | 5 |
| 1 | 6 |
| 1.5 | 4 |
- The following results are entered for test B:

| Test result |
| --- |
| 5 |
| 6 |
| 4 |

Test average results:

- Average result for test A is 4.83 (= ((0.5×5)+(1×6)+(1.5)x4)/3).
- Average result for test B is five (= (5+6+4)/3).
