The test properties register is a list of preset property groups that can be applied to test requests. For example, when you create a test request for a concrete pour, you may want to add the same additional information for each request - in Fig 1, adding the group 25MPa concrete would add properties of concrete class, number of batches, target slump, cement type etc. to the test request.
