Summary:An engineering component (60) with a designed defect and use of an engineering component (60) with a designed defect to evaluate a production component are disclosed. A test component (70) having a known defect is manufactured. This known defect is a flaw that is intentionally included in the test component (70). The test component (70) is then analyzed to obtain a test profile (40) of the defect. In addition, the engineering component (60) to be tested is analyzed to obtain a production profile (40). This production profile (40) is compared with the test profile (40) to determine whether the engineering component (60) has a defect that corresponds to the known defect.
