How do you translate "tester" when you're talking about a person who gives tests?

Question

How do you translate "tester" when you're talking about a person who gives tests? I guess a better English word might be "proctor," but I'm talking not just about a person who monitors, but the person who also administers and oversees testing as a program.

Answer 1

examinador/examinadora = "someone who administers tests"

Hope this helps, and welcome to the forum!

I have never heard this word used in context...I would ask a few native speakers as well. - renaerules, MAR 3, 2010

Answer 2

I concur with "examinador / examinadora"

Answer 3

From your question, I assume you are using the word "test" in the sense of an "exam"...such as in school. Given that your question relates to the administration of a testing program perhaps....

"Administrador / Administradora del Programa de Examenes"

I do agree with renaerules' answer but more as it might aply to the person who is actully giving the test as opposed to administering the testing progrram.

Another word in Spanish for test is prueba. So maybe Pruebas could/should replace Examenes.

Answer 4

I don't think there is a spanish word for tester. The translation could be "testeador". I have seen that word before, but don't sound very nice.
