Reproducibility

How close different testers are to each other with a single sample.

The testing variation observed in the mean value when different operators measure the same item again (or more generally, under substantially equivalent testing conditions), independent of how close they are to the true target value. The figure shows a case where three archers are all reproducible, but not accurate or precise.

Technical note: if a test is always reproducible, then the test must necessarily be repeatable regardless of its accuracy or precision.
