For non-native speakers, please note that the Anthony Thomson statement
about "exorcise" and John Woodgate's subsequent comment is purely a joke
and not to be considered a real answer.
Please do not use "Exercision / Exercition" at all in your writing for
English. It won't be understood. The words "Exercise / Exercising /
Exercised" should be used based on the tense in which the sentence is
written.
Examples include the below:
We used a PC running DataDriver software (Revision 4.0) to exercise the EUT.
We exercised the EUT using a PC running DataDriver software (Revision 4.0).
DataDriver software (Revision 4.0) running on a support PC exercised all
modes of the EUT throughout the testing.
Alternate forms using synonyms would be:
The support PC running DataDriver software (Revision 4.0) ran the EUT
through continuous write/read/compare routines throughout testing.
Please note that I give a lot of leeway for English grammar and spelling
errors when reviewing reports. Some mistakes are made by native English
speakers. We know what you are trying to express in your reports, so a
grammar mistake is ignored as long as you do provide the critical
information (margin from the emissions limits, how was the product setup
and run during testing, date of test, etc.).
Hope this helps.

If it is passing, or the test result is yet unknown, you will
“exercise” the EUT. If it is not passing, then you will need to
“exorcise” the EUT.
By cutting out any EXOR gates?
