'''Modal testing''' is the form of [[vibration|vibration testing ]] of an object whereby the natural (modal) frequencies, modal masses, modal damping ratios and mode shapes of the object under test are determined.
 
A modal test consists of an acquisition phase and an analysis phase. The complete process is often referred to as a [[Modal Analysis]] or Experimental Modal Analysis.
