A range of validation samples
The test method and settings that have been selected as having the highest promise now needs to be tested in practice over the full range of texture variability of the product from excellent quality to very poor quality. A minimum of three levels of textural quality is often suggested. Whilst the repeatability within a sample is important, ultimately the method needs to be able to differentiate between a product which is clearly different. If it doesn't provide distinctly different results for products which you know to be different (if only by testing with your own hands) then it's back to the drawing board.
