The method
What was actually done to test the control.
The part
What it is
Inspection of evidence, re-performance, observation or enquiry. They differ substantially in strength, and enquiry alone is the weakest.
Re-performance — doing the control again and comparing — is the strongest and is rarely used because it takes longer.
The smallest level
