Textile testing is the process of evaluating the quality and properties of a textile material through a series of tests at various stages of manufacturing.<ref name=":0" /> Textile testing, like textiles, is a vast subject. The historical evolution of textile measuring, and testing methods is difficult to consolidate as the subject is scattered and has different stage timelines for its starting points.<ref>{{Cite book |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=rdrQAAAAMAAJ&newbks=0&printsec=frontcover&dq=textile+testing+history+measurement&q=textile+testing+history+measurement&hl=en |title=Ciba Review |date=1959 |publisher=Ciba Limited. |pages=6 |language=en}}</ref>
At the end of the 18th century, the first mechanical spinning mills began to operate. However, for more than 150 years, the textile industry relied on subpar testing equipment. The yarns had to be visually checked, either by manually stretching a few yarns or by inspecting them on the blackboard.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Borneman |first=Jim |title=Efficient Yarn Production {{!}} Textile World |url=https://www.textileworld.com/textile-world/features/2008/09/efficient-yarn-production/ |access-date=2022-12-05 |language=en-US}}</ref>
